The Counseling Department provides personal, social and emotional supports including individual and group counseling for students, and guidance for parents. Topics addressed with students and families include study habits, friendships and healthy relationships, and balanced styles of living. Support and resources are provided to students going through periods of stress or anxiety.
English is the principal instructional language. International students without prior instruction in Spanish are offered Spanish as an Additional Language (SAL), which is adapted to their language needs and emphasizes communication skills and daily use of Spanish. German or French are also offered as world languages, with English remaining the primary language of instruction in the curriculum.
