Mission Statement
At Benway, we respect one another by celebrating our differences and individual accomplishments.
Benway school provides a safe and nurturing environment.
Benway shows its support for all students across all academics and social-emotional learning, with an emphasis on the present because we care about their future.
At Benway, we utilize our core values to help our students realize their true potential.
Core Values
Empathy: The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
Respect: A feeling or understanding that someone or something is important, serious, and valued.
Resilience: The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, toughness.
Responsibility: The state or fact of being accountable or to blame for something.
Teamwork: The collaborative effort of the school community to work together to achieve the mission statement goals. It requires face-to-face interaction, meaningful discussion, and reflection
Humor: A cheerful feeling or attitude that is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety, trauma, and depression.
What is SEL?
Social-Emotional Learning, or SEL, is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions (CASEL, 2021). SEL requires school-family-community relationships to create learning environments that foster trusting and collaborative relationships, meaningful and relevant instruction and experiences, and ongoing assessments.
At Benway School, we focus on SEL that guides students to develop self-awareness, accountability, empathy, and civic responsibility. At Benway, we strive to create a foundation for students to successfully transition into adulthood. Our mascot, the Benway Falcon, is a representation of what we desire for our students through social-emotional learning; we hope that they soar in all of their endeavors, they set high goals and see clearly how to achieve them, and are given the tools to be resilient in the face of adversity.
