What is Counseling?

Counseling is an integral part of Student Support Services in the Pan American School. Counselors plan and collaborate with all stakeholders to facilitate the development of our students’ personal, career, social, and emotional skills and needs. The Counseling department works with a student-centered, evidence-based approach in order to empower and advocate for them from the moment they enroll in school until they graduate.  

Counseling Program at PAS

The Pan American Counseling Program grounds its actions on the following beliefs:

  • That the best academic development takes place when students feel safe, supported, and accepted.
  • That students vary in their learning characteristics and needs.
  • That it is the school and the family's responsibility to develop students in accordance with the whole-child approach, meaning that academic, social, and emotional competencies are equally important.
  • That collaboration with students, parents, teachers, and administrators allows for meeting the students’ needs.
  • That all decisions and actions must be evidence-based, connecting the best scientific knowledge available with our school’s context. 
  • That celebrating diversity and supporting our students’ personal and cultural identity is core to our success as a learning community.

To put that in practice, the Counseling Department will promote the following:

  • The prevention of bullying and the development of a collaborative and welcoming school climate for all the members of our community.
  • The development of global competencies, an understanding of diversity, equity, inclusion, and a strong sense of belonging in our students.
  • Regular assessments of the students’ social and emotional needs. 
  • The embeddedness of social and emotional development into the academic curriculum.
  • The development of facilitators and the elimination of barriers to social and emotional, and academic development.
  • An understanding of the world of work and career as an important part of the person’s well-being.
