Colegio Radians Brothers & Sisters: Character Connection
The Brother/Sister Program is designed to foster a “heartistic” relationship between prepared High School Seniors and students from the P-K to 3rd grade levels. In this program, high school seniors go through Leadership Training, and are then paired with elementary school students to work together. The older students participate actively in the educational process, serving as role models for the younger students. The experience provides children with stimulating opportunities for learning and skill development. Younger children especially enjoy the one-to-one attention they receive from their older buddy.  Due to the extra attention and assistance, the younger children`s work often improves. As the older students assume the role of the teachers, they are motivated to do their best. They also experience pride in their ability to be helpful. The younger children bond with the older buddy, and friendships flourish as the year progresses.
