The elementary counseling program aims to give students the skills and tools to cope with life’s challenges. Its’ main goal is to help each child reach his/her optimum academic, emotional, and social potential. The counseling program is delivered by outside professionals and the counselors through human development lessons. These lessons are designed to provide students with study skills, career orientation, communication models, and conflict resolution strategies.
A second level of intervention delivered by the counselors consists of offering individuals or small groups more practice in using certain skills. In general, the elementary counseling program seeks to help students get to know themselves and others better and to detect and overcome any obstacles that might prevent children from becoming the best that they can be.
