Health & Wellbeing

Social and emotional learning is woven throughout the Marlborough experience—from classroom discussions to clubs, athletics, and community events. Our Deans play a central role by planning Class Meetings and retreats that blend reflection, connection, and joy. All-School Meetings and our Pushing Perspectives speaker series give students opportunities to engage with diverse ideas and deepen self-understanding. Identity-based group leaders and coaches actively contribute to belonging and wellbeing. Wellbeing isn’t an add-on—it’s part of how we learn, lead, and grow together.

Methodologies for Academic and Personal Success (MAPS) introduces younger students to effective strategies for learning and connecting with peers and adults on campus. Students learn time management, self-regulation, and communication strategies they can immediately apply to their daily lives.

1:1 Counseling

School counselors and psychologists are available throughout the day for one-on-one support. Whether students are navigating stress or interested in building effective communication skills, they’ll find compassionate, expert guidance and space to reflect.

1:1 Executive Functioning Support

The Educational Specialist provides academic support to Marlborough students through individual and small group instruction and management of Official Accommodations Plans (OAPs). 

We believe that meaningful learning and wellbeing extend beyond the classroom. That’s why we actively partner with families through a robust parent and guardian education series (PAGES) focused on connection, communication, and support. These sessions offer practical strategies, expert insight, and shared language that empower families to reinforce emotional resilience, healthy coping skills, and a sense of belonging at home. When school and home work together, students are equipped to thrive—now and in the future.

We aim to proactively create conditions in which it’s easy for students to embody our shared values of kindness, inclusion, trust, integrity, belonging, and aiming high. When harm occurs, we turn to restorative practices that encourage accountability and relationship repair. This approach helps students reflect on their choices, rebuild trust, and move forward with intention.
