Our school understands the importance of students’ emotional well-being and how this affects all other aspects of their daily lives. Our team of counselors supports the educational community by focusing on prevention, intervention and follow-up processes of emotional, social, and behavioral aspects of the students and others involved in the learning process. For this purpose we concentrate on these areas of action:

PRIMARY ATTENTION AREAS

  • Admission evaluations
  • Psychological counseling
  • Teacher counseling
  • Career guidance

DEVELOPMENT

  • Monthly workshops for the students regarding relevant subjects and/or the basic needs of the class groups identified during the Formación Humana classes.
  • Learning Reinforcement (cognitive reinforcement)
  • Workshops, conferences, projects, events, and activities.
