Developing courage and belonging at Matthews Hall School by Christopher White, Head of School When we reflect on our elementary school memories, we tend to remember the people, the togetherness and the opportunities to participate. Matthews Hall has been a part of the London community since 1918 and we provide and deep and varied co-curricular program that far surpasses the typical allowing our students to explore new interests, find belonging, develop a sense of self and work cooperatively with others. On an annual basis, we typically offer over 35 co-curricular activities throughout the year from grades one through eight and almost all of our students participate in these offerings. These activities cover music, drama and the arts, athletics, academics, language, student parliament, and clubs of general and developing interest. These are not extras but rather important and embedded aspects of personal development that allow for the growth moments that complement and support the daily learning. Having the opportunity to try new things in a supportive environment ensures that learning is a joyous process. It also ensures that having the courage to step beyond one’s current boundaries is developed. Growth and change come as a result of new experiences and our program is designed to provide these experiences in a way that encourages participation and therefore the inevitable and associated growth moments.
