When students wake up wanting to go to school, that’s when you know something is working, and that is exactly how many students at Samuel Wolfson School for Advanced Studies feel. Wolfson, lovingly known as The Pack, encourages a present and balanced approach to education. Students learn to persevere through challenges, turning difficult school days into manageable ones and helping them better cope with stress. By combining this approach with attendance incentives, such as school cash, treats, and lunch rewards, Wolfson encourages students to stay in school.
