Social Skills & Group Programming
Why it helps
Social skills groups provide children and youth with opportunities to build meaningful connections in a supportive environment. Using a structured curriculum, these groups focus on areas such as communication, turn taking, perspective taking, problem solving, life skills and managing emotions in social situations. Each session follows planned activities that allow children & youth to learn, practice, and generalize skills with their peers. The curriculum ensures consistency while also being flexible enough to meet individual needs. By building skills in a step by step way, participants gain confidence, form friendships, and learn how to navigate real life social settings more successfully while having fun.

Children's Group Programming
当校の子ども向けソーシャルグループや専門グループは、子どもたちに仲間との交流の機会を提供し、日常生活に役立つスキルを身につけさせます。熟練した訓練を受けたファシリテーターの指導の下、各プログラムは、楽しく支え合う環境の中で、自己統制、自信、友情の育成、そして良好な仲間関係を築くことを支援するカリキュラムに沿って進められます。ファシリテーターは、子どもたち一人ひとりのニーズに合わせた学習環境を作り、子どもたちが自分のペースで学習できるよう支援し、その成長を共に祝います。ファシリテーターは、丁寧な指導、模範となる姿勢、そして励ましを通して、子どもたちが意思決定、問題解決、協調性といった重要なスキルを身につけられるよう支援します。何よりも重要なのは、当校のグループ活動は楽しさと喜びに満ちており、学習が自然で刺激的なものになることです。ソーシャルグループに加え、アートクラブやゲームグループといった趣味に基づいたオプションも提供しています。子どもたちは、これらの経験を通して、自分の興味を探求し、自立心を育み、強い帰属意識を持つことができます。これらの経験を通して、子どもたちは社会的、感情的、そして個人的に成長し、永続的な友情を築くことができます。
Youth Group Programming
Our youth social and specialty groups give teens the chance to connect with peers while building meaningful skills for everyday life. Guided by skilled and trained facilitators, programs follow a curriculum that supports self regulation, confidence, friendship building, and positive peer relationships in a safe and encouraging environment. Facilitators create spaces that meet each youth at their current level, ensuring skills are introduced at the right pace and gradually expanded as confidence grows. Groups also promote independence by practicing decision making, problem solving, and collaboration in ways that feel engaging and relevant. Fun is a key part of every session, with activities designed to spark interest and build on what matters most to youth. Beyond social skill development, we offer hobby based and interest driven options such as art clubs and gaming groups, giving participants the chance to explore passions, express creativity, and build a sense of belonging. These experiences help youth grow socially, emotionally, and personally while forming lasting friendships and preparing for the future.
Who Should Join?
Our groups are open to children and youth of all abilities who would benefit from extra support in building social, emotional, and everyday life skills. No diagnosis is required to participate. We welcome participants who may find peer interactions challenging, those looking to gain confidence in group settings, or youth wanting to build independence and explore their interests in a supportive space. Groups are matched by age and skill level to ensure that every child and youth can learn, have fun, and feel successful. Most importantly, our programs are run in a safe and inclusive environment that is neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and LGBTQ2S+ affirming. Every child and youth is valued, respected, and encouraged to be themselves.
