Zion Chapel School Elementary Counseling Program and Services

Our counseling program is for all students and is focused on the development of the whole child.  We believe that in order to help students grow into successful adults, it is essential that our educational framework include personal/social goals in addition to career and academic goals.  Our program addresses these goals collectively as well as individually in response to specific needs.

Counseling Services Provided to Students
