As part of Coeus’ commitment to foster emotional intelligence, healthy relationships, and peacemaking skills, students are engaging in a dynamic International Baccalaureate-tailored personal leadership and community development program called JUMP! Justin Bedard, founder and visionary, facilitated workshops in upper school PE classes and offered an intensive day-long experiential learning program to select students, inspiring them to create change in themselves and those around them through self- discovery, leadership by definition, and leadership by action.
Students who have completed the program will be asked to share their skills and commitment to leadership with students in the middle school, who in turn will share with lower school students.
