The Circle Education

EMPOWERING YOUTH FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

The Circle Education Society fosters healthy relationships to promote communities free of violence, bullying, discrimination, assault and abuse.

 

The Circle Education does this by delivering innovative, evidence-based, social-emotional educational programs for children, youth and adults, and by inspiring and training others to deliver our programs.

What is new at The Circle Education?

Now offering engaging and interactive workshops on current pressing topics, for your classroom or whole school

Our workshops are suited for classrooms as well as whole school assemblies with the ultimate aim of reconnecting and rebuilding healthy relationships in schools.
We tackle current topics like consent, boundaries, stress and anxiety, school and classroom agreements, diversity and respectful relationships. We do this in a fun and interactive way. You can find our workshops, guest speaker opportunities and Pro D training here.

Our Commitment to Local Community

In fulfillment of its mission, The Circle Education offers in-class social-emotional programming to children and youth in grades 3-8. This programming is in partnership with School District 64 as well NIDES (North Island Distance Education School), and local independent schools and homeschoolers.

The Circle Education also offers after-school programming, including its year-round Pass It On program as well as camps and workshops during the breaks.

The Circle Education engages in public outreach opportunities and collaborates across sectors in discussions and initiatives that address the health and well-being of local youth.

Our Commitment to Global Community

We offer online versions of our in-class programs. These are courses that support social-emotional outcomes and can be delivered by teachers and home-school parents on demand and at their own pace.

We also provide professional development and facilitator training. These offerings support teachers wanting to renew/enhance their skills as well as others interested in learning fun and effective methods and tools for engaging with young people and creating safe, caring and respectful spaces.
