An important part of a boy’s education is giving him
redirection when his actions do not align with the school’s values and/or his
own values. Because we want our boys to grow into caring young men of the
community, we take an intentional approach to building character. We continually
refer to the Essential Qualities of a Haverford School student.
It is our hope to have each
boy become self-directed in achieving these qualities. Mr. Brown, as
Dean of Students in the Lower School, works closely with students, homeroom
teachers, and parents to best support the boys.
