About Savvy School
What if there was an experiential, fun, health & sexuality education program for young people that emphasized self-respect, consent, and how to build strong relationships?
Our classes are designed for small groups of young people. We emphasize developmentally appropriate topics and issues for each age group.
Classes are experiential in nature but we cheerfully welcome introverts as well as extroverts. We have discussions, engage in interactive and multimedia activities exploring changing bodies, sexuality, feelings about growing older, understanding our own boundaries, gender identity and sexual orientation, communication skills, and navigating consent.
​
We believe self-esteem can be nurtured in young people by caring adults who provide them with information and tools to develop self-awareness in order to create and maintain healthy relationships.
​
We also offer classes in a weekly format, and online. For more information, check out the events section of our website to see our current offerings. For a program tailored to your specific needs please contact us.
