What is Empathy?

Empathy is the ability to emotionally understand what other people are feeling, see things from others’ perspectives, and imagine yourself in their place. It is an important life skill to be developed, and can help you personally, academically and professionally, in five key ways.

We believe that empathy can be taught from a young age, and it’s one of the key life skills that we practise in our school sessions.
