Counseling has a special importance at the middle school level.  Concern over body development, the desire for social acceptance, the seemingly inevitable conflict with adult norms and expectations, the desire to try out new ideas and beliefs, the desire to experiment with a heightened intellectual ability, all call for a guidance program.  Individual counseling, group work and whole class projects centered on career exploration and social issues are offered to students at Strong School.

Counseling encourages children to verbalize their thoughts and feelings related to school, family, and friends. To explore options concerning any challenges they may have.
