Exploratory
Grounded and Growing
2026-27 School Year Enrollment Opens May 1st
Grounded and Growing
Taught by Danielle McDonald Bourbeau
This class is designed for students who are ready to build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and develop a growth mindset in a supportive and engaging environment. At the heart of the class is a focus on mindfulness practices- including yoga, breathwork, meditation, and EFT tapping- to help students feel more grounded, aware, and connected.
Through group discussion, journaling, interactive activities, and real-life application, students will explore communication skills, goal setting, leadership qualities, and self-advocacy. Mindfulness tools are woven throughout each class, giving students practical ways to regulate emotions, manage stress, and respond thoughtfully in everyday situations.
We’ll also explore topics relevant to teens, such as stress, social dynamics, self-esteem, and peer pressure, while building the skills and resilience needed to navigate them with confidence.
Middle School Thursdays from 12:15-1:15
High school Thursdays from 10:30-11:30
Homework will include continued practice of mindfulness exercises and occasionally reading and journaling.
Exploratory is offered as part of both our complete and our comprehensive High school programming, as well as our complete Middle school program OR as stand alone classes with a monthly cost of $60.
Material Fees will be $40 for the year per student.
