OLA Culture of Care

The Ossining School Community, as part of the long-range plan, with the leadership of the Ossining Learning Academy, will support and strengthen the social and emotional needs of all learners by creating a deep culture of care. We will continue to focus on equity, inclusiveness, and the individual identity of our students. We’ll focus on the soft skills our students need to succeed in academics, as school citizens, and in all they do, while supporting our teachers and our broader school community. 

We celebrate and empower students’ academic endeavors and embrace the “whole child” by pursuing these goals with
passion, skill, innovation, and determination. 

This goal was adapted from the CASEL framework, with the understanding that the broader school community in conjunction with families and the community at large, all play a role in the social and emotional development of children and each other.
