The school counselors along with parents continue to work together to promote values among our students. Values play a key role in the Colegio Interamericano community. Having a holistic education makes a big difference in the student’s lives. The school is helping children develop positive values that will shape their relationships, behaviors, choices, and who they are as positive role members of their community.
From January until mid-February, the emphasis is on respect, one of the six pillars of character. Respect is key in having healthy relationships in school; as students will learn to treat others with respect, be tolerant, be considerate of others feelings, not hurting anyone, and following the Golden Rule amongst each other.
Throughout the semester, the students will continue to learn and put into practice different values. First, the counselors hold a workshop for the parents, as they will be the individuals sharing the value in the classrooms. The week following the parents workshop, the students hear directly from the parents the importance of each value, as they will help them grow personally and become better people.
The values that the counselors will be promoting during this semester are: respect, caring, trustworthiness, and justice.
We encourage you to take a vital part in the personal development of our students, for more information on how you can participate please contact our Elementary School Counselors: Mrs. Aura de Mejia or Mrs. Ruth Chafchalaf.
