Counseling

The Counseling Department serves to support the needs of Saint Francis School students socially, emotionally, and academically. Counselors assist in promoting the growth of healthy, independent, and self-confident individuals.

The department aims to nurture various aspects of positive student identity and foster personal growth by empowering students to strive for excellence. It is our goal to help students improve academic performance, build strong character, teach valuable work habits and social skills, and encourage students to consider their own health and wellness.

Specialized guidance courses in grades 4 through 8 focus on helping students improve personally, build interpersonal relationships, and cultivate self-awareness. By spring semester of 8th grade, students receive transitional counseling, become familiarized with Saint Francis School’s Upper School requirements, and are motivated to begin thinking of their own college and career paths.
