Adjustment Counseling

Springfield International Charter School provides a comprehensive school counseling program (K-12) that promotes academic, college/career, and social/emotional growth for all students.

Effective school counseling programs are a collaborative effort between the school counselor, families, community stakeholders and other educators to create an environment resulting in a positive impact on student achievement. Education professionals, including school counselors, value and respond to the diversity and individual differences in our societies and communities in culturally sensitive and responsive ways. We are committed to ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to be effective and responsible citizens, productive workers, and life-long learners as members of a changing society. School counselors focus their skills, time and energy on direct and indirect services to students.
