Healthy Minds and Bodies

A healthy body, mind and spirit are essential to the Masters student experience, and we are committed to helping our students find balanced and healthy lifestyles through a diverse range of services and initiatives.

We see the physical, social and emotional health as lifelong priorities. The social, recreational, artistic and athletic options we provide for students outside of the classroom are designed to help them stay active, engaged and connected.

Counseling

The social-emotional health of our students is key to their overall well-being and a crucial component of a successful education. Masters offers an array of counseling services, workshops and training to promote healthy choices, a balanced lifestyle and personal growth.

Our Counseling Center is staffed with licensed mental health professionals dedicated to addressing the social and emotional health of our students. Counselors are available for individual and group counseling on a short-term basis (8-10 sessions) to assist students with challenges and concerns. If additional support is indicated, counselors can refer to private clinicians off campus.

The school counselors, along with faculty from the Center for Inclusive Excellence, teach Ninth Grade Seminar. In these classes, counselors address topics such as mindfulness, resilience building, relaxation and coping techniques, self-care, and access to external resources.

Mindfulness

Defined as the presence of mind and focus, mindfulness has a direct impact on mental health. It is proven to reduce stress and improve conditions associated with everyday pressures and anxiety.

Masters incorporates mindfulness practice both in and out of the classroom. Upper school students can take the yoga co-curriuclar, which incorporates meditation and mindfulness techniques, and participate in Mental Health at Masters club programming throughout the year.
Fitness

A healthy body is as important as a healthy mind, and hence, fitness and athletics are embedded in the Masters experience. Our students have a wide selection of athletic opportunities at every level.

Our athletes learn how to be responsible for not only themselves but also for their teammates, coaches, family and community, preparing them for the many challenges in life.

Athletes enjoy five expansive playing fields, eight tennis courts, and and the Fonseca Center, a 75,000-square-foot facility with six fencing lanes, an Olympic-size swimming pool, four squash courts, a fitness center, running track and a gymnasium with a regulation basketball court, two practice courts and two volleyball courts.
