Supportive Programs

At The Sage School of Dallas, we believe that true leadership emerges from a foundation of integrity, empathy, and a passion for learning. Our Authentic Leadership program is designed to cultivate these qualities in our twice-exceptional students.

Core Principles of Authentic Leadership:

• Integrity: We instill the importance of honesty, fairness, and ethical behavior.
• Purpose: Students explore their personal "why" and how it connects to their goals and aspirations.
• Vulnerability: We encourage students to embrace their strengths and weaknesses, fostering resilience and empathy.
• Accountability: Students learn to take responsibility for their actions and the impact they have on others.
• Heart-Centered Leadership: We emphasize the role of compassion, kindness, and service in effective leadership.

All community members at The Sage School of Dallas will be authentic leaders including the students; this will be achieved by creating a student-centered community.

Student-Centered Community includes:

• Student Leadership: Students actively participate in decision-making and leadership roles, planning events, organizing activities, and taking on responsibilities within the school community.
• Community Engagement: We encourage students to connect with their community through volunteer work, service projects, and social initiatives.
   

• Direct Instruction: Students will receive explicit instruction during the school day in SEL skills, such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
• School-Wide SEL Essentials: We integrate SEL into the daily life of our school, fostering a positive and inclusive community.
   

• Direct Instruction: Students receive targeted instruction in executive function skills, including time management, organization, planning, and attention.
• Personalized Support: Individualized learning plans address the unique needs of each student, ensuring they have the tools and strategies to succeed.
