Health & Wellness
Supporting the mind, body, and spirit of every student
St. Sebastian's is committed to helping each Arrow thrive in all aspects and at every stage of his journey by surrounding him with a network of support that nurtures his well-being. From counseling and peer education, to providing athletic training services and healthy lunch options, our health and wellness programming is an integral part of the student experience.
Wellness Curriculum
St. Sebastian's Wellness Curriculum promotes healthy behaviors and encourages conversation about issues and ideas important to students’ social and emotional development. The curriculum is tailored to help students at various grade levels manage the emotional, academic, and social challenges of adolescence, with a special focus in the first two years on setting them up for success at St. Sebastian's and beyond.
