Compassion and Kindness

As they read and discuss novels together, boys learn to listen carefully—and respond thoughtfully. They practice how to disagree with kindness, consider different points of view, and build on one another’s ideas with care and respect.

Through our partnership with the Manhattan Childrens Center, boys build friendships with children on the autism spectrum—learning to connect across differences and see the world through another’s eyes. These relationships help boys grow in empathy, understanding, and kindness.

Through daily intramural sports, boys learn to cheer each other on, bounce back from setbacks, and be gracious—win or lose. With steady support from coaches, they practice being kind teammates, learning how to work together and lift each other up.
