Academic & Career Counseling
Academic Counseling
Sometimes it can be hard to see the forest for the trees. Understanding the relationship between academic discipline and the world beyond not only effectively motivates students, it encourages thoughtfulness in everything from selecting classes to choosing extracurriculars. As academic counselors, we help students acquire the attitudes, knowledge, and skills that promote competent learning so they are prepared for a wide range of substantial post-secondary options.
Career Counseling
We prepare students for the world beyond their education. Our goal is to ensure students acquire the skills to investigate the world of work in relation to knowledge of self. Whether there's a clear path to their career or an exploratory one, the ultimate goal is a fulfilling life in all dimensions. We want our students to face their futures head-on with enthusiasm, creativity and confidence, prepared to respond to the ultimate question after formal schooling has ended: "What's next?"
