Secondary Student Services

Counselors are available to advise students at all levels, whether a student seeks counsel about academic or personal issues. The team is composed of three counselors: one in Middle School, one in High School, and one College Counselor.

The following are among the specific ways that counselors contribute to support the student body:

• Counselors work with administration, faculty, and parents to assist in maintaining the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual well-being of our students.
• Build relationships with students, staff and families by ensuring confidentiality in all personal matters
• Meet with students individually, in small groups or with entire classes as necessary
  Prepare and facilitate the Secondary Wellness Program.
• Attend academic meetings to provide valuable perspective and gather information that will assist with students’ progress.
• Conduct programs designed to assist with career decision making and post secondary (college) program selection and application.
• Develop the master schedule, course selection, and scheduling process.
• Develop individual schedules and place students in appropriate classes to ensure compliance with the Nicaraguan and United States diploma requirements
• Develop and implement successful transitioning programs from Elementary to Middle School and from Middle School to High School.
• Facilitate orientation process for new students and families.
• Proctor PSAT’s, AP’s and MAP testing.

*It is important to note that school counselors do not provide individual psychological counseling.
