Elementary School Counselor

At ICSV, we believe that every student is valued as a unique individual created in the image of God. They need the right resources, guidance, and support to thrive in the world. Our counseling team is integral to our holistic education, supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional development.

Our Elementary/Middle School counselor provides one-to-one and small-group guidance, helping students resolve conflicts and supporting them during transitions, heightened stress, critical change, or other situations that hinder student success. They have a student-centered approach to help them learn to identify their emotions, understand their behaviors, and process their internal and external experiences.

Close Collaboration with Teachers

The Elementary/Middle School Counselor works closely with teachers and principals on ways to support students in the classroom. They provide research-based strategies to help all students succeed. Together with our teachers, our counselor helps nurture a safe and welcoming environment inside and outside the classroom, where every student feels seen, heard, and cared for.

Transition from Elementary to Middle School

We want to equip students with the academic and social skills that ease their transition to middle school. Our school counselor helps develop and implement initiatives that help ensure a smooth transition for both students and parents, such as Grade 6 Shadow Days and Parent Nights.
