Student Wellness

Fitness & Wellness

All students at Castilleja are guided to achieve health and physical literacy and become self-directed critical thinkers who make decisions to live a healthy, active lifestyle.

A developmentally appropriate curriculum allows different learners to safely challenge themselves to find balance, take risks, and explore roles, ideas, and activities. We model and instill a compassion for self and others and a commitment to mindfulness and life-long learning.

As competent, confident, and responsible leaders, students are empowered to effectively collaborate, problem-solve, and communicate when making choices and taking action for both personal and community health and fitness.

Counseling & Student Wellness

When wellness topics are seamlessly integrated into the entire curriculum, students become more self-reflective and empathetic and develop the skills to effectively relate with others.

The Counseling and Student Wellness department supports girls as they learn to identify, to voice, and to be proud of who they are.  In addition, our full-time professional counseling staff offers counseling services for students and supports faculty and staff in reinforcing positive social and emotional development.

"The immediate outcome of social and emotional learning may be academic success or improved psychological well-being for the individual student. But, in the end, we all benefit through the creation of a kinder and more compassionate society" Vicki Zakrzewski, Education Director of Greater Good Science Center
