Services Provided

• Routine and intake interview

A routine interview is conducted by the assigned counselor with all the students in the grade level. Students are called to the Guidance Office once within the school year. The counselor schedules an appointment at a time appropriate for the students. The interview will help the counselors to know more about the student in terms of self, family, school concerns, peer relations, and other significant information, to identify students who have concerns that need to be addressed and to ensure that all students are met and followed up every school year.

• Short-term individual counseling

Individual counseling is offered to help students resolve personal or interpersonal problems.

• Group counseling

Small group counseling is organized to help students enhance listening and social skills, learn to empathize with others, and find social support through healthy peer relationships.

• Psychoeducation

The counseling team provides seminars on mental health awareness, handling bullying, study skills, and other topics.

• University and Careers Support

Our primary aim is to equip students with the essential skills for their future adult lives, with a strong focus on career management. Starting from Grade 9, students actively engage with our dedicated high school counselors who provide guidance throughout their time at EIS, from the initial stages until graduation. Throughout their high school years, students have valuable opportunities to connect with college representatives from various institutions through college fairs, enabling them to make well-informed decisions about their future educational pathways. Our high school counseling team is committed to providing ongoing guidance and support to students, ensuring that each individual benefits from personalized action plans developed through individual interviews.
