Haverford Township is a community that is woven street by street, classroom by classroom, child by child.  We remain steadfastly committed to the work of equity, eliminating bias, dignity, respect, and appreciation for each person in our schools and in the greater community. Together, as a Haverford community, we can weave a future that every child deserves. We are stronger together!

While we are away from the brick and mortar of our beloved Chestnutwold School, here are some suggested ideas to continue your guidance related learning

The curriculum is child-centered and focused on the five interrelated sets of cognitive, affective, and behavior competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.  The curriculum encourages students to develop positive self-images, develop healthy relationships with others, and learn effective problem-solving skills.

The School District of Haverford Township has offered a comprehensive developmental guidance program in its five elementary schools since 1989.  Each elementary school has at a least one full-time school counselor, and a wide range of services are offered to support students’ social and emotional development.
