Social Emotional Learning

At Brain Builders Academy, we believe that social-emotional learning is a crucial aspect of our students' overall education. We have designed a unique curriculum that integrates art and social emotional learning (SEL). 

Our SEL curriculum is designed to help our students explore art as a means of developing social-emotional skills and aligns with the CASEL competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.  By using art as a tool for self-expression and self-reflection, our students learn to manage their emotions in healthy ways. This creates a unique and holistic program that helps our students develop important skills for success in all aspects of their lives. ​

​By integrating art into our social-emotional learning curriculum, we provide our students with a unique and engaging way to explore and develop important social-emotional skills. Our curriculum is aligned with the Illinois SEL and visual arts standards, ensuring that our students receive a high-quality education that prepares them for success in all aspects of their lives.
