Counselling

an image that would encompass student counseling services without using people

The counseling department at AISL aims to foster healthy self-esteem and self-awareness, as well as a sense of responsibility to self and others.

The mission of AISL’s counseling program is to facilitate each student’s personal, social, academic and career development through the delivery of a comprehensive and developmental approach to guidance activities and personal counseling. This is a collaborative effort between the home, school and community aimed at fostering in students: personal responsibility, emotional intelligence, and flexibility in an ever-changing world as they work towards becoming confident, well-adjusted, and culturally sensitive global citizens.

Currently there are three school counselors on staff at AISL; one Primary School Counselor, serving ELC-Grade 5  and two Secondary School Counselors, serving Grade 6-Grade 12.
