In secondary, the community works with families to support comprehensive socio-emotional development, helping students value and care for themselves and develop authentic leadership and service. In Bachillerato, the NET virtues program supports socio-emotional education and human formation, fostering positive environments and a disciplined, virtuous approach to learning.
