Boerne ISD believes in the ASCD Whole Child approach, which is "an effort to transition from a focus on narrowly defined academic achievement to one that promotes the long-term development and success of all children. We help educators, families, community members, and policymakers move from a vision about educating the whole child to sustainable, collaborative action". In the 2019-2020 school year, all BISD campuses from PK-12 implemented the Whole Child initiative. BISD counselors worked diligently to create a social/emotional curriculum that is now integrated across curricula at all academic levels. BISD's Great 8 Skills were developed and are taught quarterly over a period of 2 years.
