A Wide Range of Support
The Guidance department provides a wide range of support for the Archmere Community. Specifically addressed are the social, emotional, academic, physical, spiritual and moral development of our students and their families. Our goal is to teach students to use the resources available to them and help them to recognize and challenge their own personal and academic potential. We also provide support for faculty and staff on an as-needed basis.
Counselors have Long-term Relationships with Students
The department consists of two qualified professional Guidance Counselors, who continue with their classes throughout the four years. The relationships between students and the counselors develop over the years as Archmere prepares its young adults for the responsibilities, decision-making, pressures, and independence of college life. Students need to feel supported and safe, and as though they have a reliable, trusted resource for information and answers to difficult, often confusing questions.
Also assisting with the work of the department are:
- Two College Counselors
- The Learning Specialist
- The school’s Nurse
- The Drug and Alcohol Counselor
- The Director of the Successful Transition into the Archmere Community (STAC) Mentoring Program
- Four Class Moderators
