The School Counselor will work individually and in group settings with students to address various student mental health needs identified by CSM faculty and staff, parents, and/or students themselves. Additionally, the school counselor will be a member of the Foundations team and teach part time. The School Counselor at Collegiate will work under the direction of the Principal and instructional guidance of the Dean of Curriculum and Instruction.
The School Counselor must desire to provide a rigorous college-preparatory educational experience and be dedicated to leading scholars emotionally, socially, and spiritually while upholding global methods, systems, and strategies that support outstanding instruction. As a data-driven school, Collegiate requires great attention to detail and deadlines as we glean accurate data that informs our instruction.
