As an institution catering to gifted and talented students, Covington Latin School recognizes that not all students develop their abilities at the same rate.
In an effort to provide support and encourage development, Essendi Day includes weekly time for students to develop their social-emotional skills. Students who enter high school with these skills are likely to experience healthier relationships and have less schoolwork-related anxiety.
Prep 7 and Prep 8 students have the ability to develop the following skills through the Causa Essendi weekly schedule:
- Organization and Study Skills
- Task Initiation and Executive Functioning
- Boundary Setting
- Healthy Friendships with Peers
- Community-Building
- Social Awareness and Respect for Others
