Starting high school comes with all kinds of new responsibilities and exciting challenges. Staying organized, managing deadlines and navigating big emotions can add to the pressure. At Trafalgar, we want the best start for all of our students, so we created a unique class for our Junior school.
JAHM Sessions grew out of an understanding that study skills and executive functioning need to be taught and practiced in authentic ways. What has grown over the years is a dynamic two-year course that explicitly develops time and resource management, note-taking and test-taking skills, and strategies to keep students on top of their tasks. In alternating years, the focus is on emotional regulation skills, interpersonal communication and personal goal setting. Adolescence is a key stage of human development, and at Trafalgar, our juniors are set up for academic and personal success. support their overall well-being.
