In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, trauma-informed design principles have become essential in shaping classrooms that can support student’s well-being and resilience. Additionally, every child faces unique challenges outside of school, making it crucial for schools to be a safe space where they feel valued, supported, and empowered from an early age. With many young students experiencing heightened anxiety, disrupted routines, and social isolation, this study explores how sensory spaces, stress management tools, flexible furniture, and opportunities for meaningful choices and student autonomy can help create a safe and supportive learning environment that nurtures both academic growth and emotional resilience.
