Dedicated Counselors
Our students have the support of dedicated division counselors who makes ensure they feel supported and successful while they grow as individuals and learners.
Working closely with teachers, administrators, parents, and mental health professionals, counselors can help identify and overcome obstacles that might impact a child’s academic success. The counseling program is an important part of the overall program of Country Day. The connection between home and school is important, and our counselors can provide comfort in helping your child overcome social or emotional stressors that might impede their learning availability. The well-being of our students is essential to learning, and having a division counselor benefits the students, parents, and teachers.
