It clears my head of sadness or frustration, and helps me focus on what is happening right now.

I like how we can go into younger kids’ classes and teach them mindfulness.

I loved how calming the program was, as well as the peace I felt after. Doing meditation definitely helps me clear my mind and think more rationally.

Mindfulness has been by far the most valuable class I’ve ever taken.

The mindfulness lessons help me notice that I don’t have to compare myself to other people.

One of the best organizational experiences I’ve had in my professional career. I often find spaces deeply hypocritical and non-aligned with their own values, however WholeSchool is the rare team where the opposite is true: Whole School embody their values fully, and each team member brings their own unique gifts, skills, presences and ability to guide and facilitate in a way that presents a cohesive whole of love, fairness, equity, and embodiment of both mindfulness and equity in education.

Mindfulness Director

The support is not only consistent but deeply rooted in compassion, reflection, and growth. The structures, resources, and relationships offered through WholeSchool have helped me grow both personally and professionally. I would absolutely recommend WholeSchool to colleagues who are looking to make meaningful, sustainable change in their school communities.

Mindfulness Director

The level of support, personal attention, and time given to individuals knocks is out of the park, is unparalleled, and I personally have not received this type of support, ever, in any workplace, in my life.

At a time when anxiety and depression are spiking for adolescents, I feel that I am in a position to work directly with students and offer a practice that can support them right now, and always.

WholeSchool Mindfulness has been one of the best and most rewarding professional experiences of my career. I have felt supported and challenged at the same time.

The financial structure of partnering with WholeSchool to start the work was critical for buy-in and budget planning.

Belmont Day School

We have been involved in longitudinal data collection about wellness and belonging for our students, employees, and parents over the past two years. The data shows the impact of the mindfulness initiatives as students talk about feeling more calm, better prepared to face challenges in their day, and a clearer understanding of who to approach for support.

Walnut Hill School for the Arts

Having a mindfulness director helps to ensure that we are focusing on mindfulness initiatives, despite all that we have going on within our school building. As an admin, I work on culture and climate as well as academics, but I have a lot on my plate. I trust my mindfulness director to be the lead in carrying out this important work. We collaborate, plan, strategize, and it’s been a great partnership.

Student-led mindfulness sessions teach life-long lessons about leadership, public speaking, and building trust.

Jane Lizotte, Assistant Superintendent

Our Mindfulness Director was not only responsive to the needs of the community; she was also proactive in identifying spaces to extend the impact of mindfulness on students and staff. She began to train students to support and expand this work. Transformative!
