Overview

The Counseling Department helps students focus on academic, personal, and social issues, career development and college counseling. They meet with students several times throughout the year in both individual and group settings. The counselors work in a collaborative effort with students, parents, teachers, administrators, and the overall Ursuline community. The Department provides assistance in numerous areas including:

Career Counseling/ Career Experience
College Counseling/ College Boot Camp
Psycho-educational and Wellness Presentations
Special Needs Program
Standardized Testing

 Career Counseling / Career Experience

Career exploration and counseling occurs throughout the students’ high school years. Students take different interest inventories and career assessments, have the access to researching careers and majors thru Naviance, and take part annually in the Career Experience in which over 50 professionals come and present different aspects of their careers to the high school students in small groups.

 Special Needs Program

The Special Needs program at Ursuline Academy is designed to address the needs of those students who have learning differences. The program is overseen by the Special Needs Committee that will review all educational information and determine if a student is eligible for additional classroom accommodations that may assist her in achieving her academic potential. A student must submit an educational evaluation within three years of the current academic year. Students participating in the Special Needs Program will be required to meet all academic expectations for graduation.
