School Counseling

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Ballston Spa K-12 school counseling program is to promote high standards and expectations that challenge all students across academic, personal, social-emotional and career domains and to inspire students to learn, excel and become responsible and well-rounded adults.

Through a comprehensive developmental school counseling program the professional school counselors will implement a curriculum promoting a positive, safe, respectful and culturally sensitive environment which enhances the learning process. Working in collaboration with educators, teachers, parents, guardians and the community, school counselors will facilitate programs that enable students to increase their ability to independently problem solve and think critically and to be productive members of a global society.
