PISOTA promotes holistic, community wellness through its community “essentials” hub and inclusive programming for the entire school and surrounding community.

Our school follows the Whole School, Whole Child, Whole Community vision of wellness.

Our Approach

PISOTA offers a range of support services to strengthen student success and family engagement, including girls’ mentoring groups that foster leadership, confidence, and academic resilience; parent learning opportunities such as workshops on supporting middle-school learners, navigating adolescent social-emotional needs, and understanding school programs; individual counseling and referral services for students; and regular family outreach events to build community connections and access to outside resources. These services are designed to be inclusive, practical, and responsive to the needs of our school community.
