EKA
Counseling Café
Thank you for "bee"ing here.
Welcome to our school's counseling café, a one-stop resource shop for your counseling needs. I am Mrs. Twardzik, and I am one of two school counselors on campus. This is my ninth year at Explore Knowledge Academy, and I feel lucky to work with such great students and families on a daily basis. In addition to counseling, I've spent well over a decade as a secondary English teacher. I even spent a year teaching in France! I am a Chicago native, and I love tea, books, traveling, and art. Feel free to contact me via email with your counseling questions or concerns: ntwardzik@ekacademy.org
I am Mrs. Keyer, and I am one of two counselors on campus. This is my 14th year at Explore Knowledge Academy and my 30th year as a school counselor. I spent my first 16 years as a high school counselor in Michigan. In addition to my school counseling duties, I also was the head coach for the girls cross country team, head coach for the junior varsity girls volleyball team and head coach for the girls track and field team in Michigan. At EKA, I've had the opportunity to work with a couple of teachers to establish and coach an elementary/middle school co-ed cross country and track team where we competed in the Red Rock Athletic Conference for four years. I also coached a middle school/high school girls volleyball team for two years where we competed in the Coast 2 Coast League. Please feel free to contact me via email at ikeyer@ekacademy.org with your counseling questions and/or concerns.
