Student Support

At ACS, we prioritize the well-being of our students. Our Student Support team is here to provide essential counseling and programs to support the social-emotional development and mental health needs of our students. Our dedicated team consists of highly-trained professionals, including psychologists and social-emotional counselors. This team offers a range of services tailored to address various aspects of adolescent and young adult development, including Confidential Individual Counseling, Group Counseling, Academic Support Groups, Health Courses, and even support and mentorship for Clubs and Events.

This team is entrusted with supporting our student body as they navigate the challenges of their academic and personal journeys in ways that build their individual capacity. Their work includes working closely with faculty and with families. This type of collaboration contributes to a strong support system and fosters communication.
