SELF CONFIDENCE
This is a foundation concept for young boys. It involves feelings of self-respect and self-esteem. We build these values by having boys learn from one another and by working together.
COMMUNICATION
This is the process of exchanging information. Boys will discover how to express their emotions in a verbal and non-verbal way.
SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING
The ability to manage, understand, and recognize emotion is key to every man. Boys will be given skills to effectively navigate emotions and relationships.
LEADERSHIP
Effective leadership goes beyond giving orders. Our boys will examine different leadership styles and their unique abilities. They will learn to have empathy and a passion to serve others.
