The Circle of Courage is based on Native American philosophies about growth. All parts of the circle are of equal importance.
In our program we have set up four levels, each matching a section of the circle. The student will start out at Level One and complete predetermined set of tasks. Students are involved in creating the set of tasks. The tasks are designed to engage the learner in that section of the Circle of Courage. Once they have completed the tasks the student will conference with the teachers to discuss and debrief key lessons within the Level. Whereupon a mutual agreement is met and the student moves on to the next Level.
The Levels are as follows;
Level 1 - Belonging
Level 2- Generosity
Level 3- Independence
Level 4- Mastery
