Social Emotional Learning
Our approach to social emotional learning promotes students’ wellness in a number of ways, including creating opportunities to engage in joyful experiences with peers and teachers while learning how to cope with life’s challenges.
Research tells us that adolescent brains literally grow, or undergo positive changes, during social interactions. We also know that social-emotional intelligence and awareness are essential to success in the 21st century. PATH, our weekly advisory period, provides opportunity to go deeply into discussions on topics of character, ethics, life skills, and goal setting.

PATH
PATH is an advisory discussion group usually made up of 8-10 students in multiple grade levels. Each PATH group has an advisor, or Sherpa, who acts as discussion facilitator each cycle on D days. Discussions focus on topics of character, social and emotional intelligence, and other subjects of the wider world. The purpose of the group meetings is to encourage students to think beyond the academic and beyond their individual experiences to foster a sense of purpose and greater meaning in their lives.Why is it called PATH? In popular culture, many people think independent schools prepare a path for their students. At York, we’re focused on preparing our students for their paths by helping them develop the kind of non-cognitive life skills – resiliency, determination, grit, empathy – that will help them navigate their future.
