Building a Caring School Community
At KBS1, we view discipline as an opportunity for growth, reflection, and community-building. Our restorative approach focuses on:
Resolving Conflicts Respectfully
Students participate in restorative circles to resolve conflicts, clarify misunderstandings, and strengthen relationships.
Building Connections Through Conversation
Fostering a safe environment where students can share their thoughts and emotions constructively.
Personal Growth and Accountability
Rather than relying on punitive measures, students are guided to reflect on their actions, learn from mistakes, and contribute to restoring harmony within the school community.
This approach cultivates a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where every student feels valued, heard, and empowered.
