The Office of Counseling plays a vital role in students' wellness and academic success. Its primary goal is to promote emotional and social well-being for students and assist them with life at Keio and academic progress. The office is staffed with licensed mental health professionals who are English-Japanese bilingual, and counseling can be conducted in English or in Japanese. Counseling is available 24/7 for mental health, with on-call support after hours for emergencies or special assistance. The Counseling Office maintains an open-door policy, and peer counseling and peer tutoring are available under counselor supervision.
Most classes are taught in English; Japanese is compulsory for all students. Immersion is the key principle: all classes except for Japanese are taught in English, and all written work (except for Japanese) is submitted in English. The mission is to prepare students as bilingual lifelong learners, equipped with fluent written and speaking skills in both English and Japanese and to pursue higher education at Keio University and beyond.
Counseling services are available 24/7. Students may contact the counseling office with questions or concerns about mental health or academic performance, and parents may be updated on a student's well-being. The Counseling Office operates with an open-door policy and makes referrals to outside professionals when needed. Counseling includes support for a range of issues from adjustment to school life to cross-cultural concerns, with bilingual English/Japanese staff.
Safety and security are managed by Allied Universal, with 24/7 on-site coverage. Security measures include vehicle checks, building access controls, and temporary visitor passes, and staff receive regular training on emergency procedures. The School coordinates with local authorities including the Harrison Police Department and maintains information sharing for security and emergencies. The School undergoes NYSAIS examination/evaluation processes as part of compliance and safeguards for students.
