School Counseling & Guidance
The goal at Friends School is to ensure students excel academically and develop the life skills needed for a successful future. We achieve this by helping students understand that feelings dictate behavior. VBFS Students know and understand they are always welcome in the School's office to talk. Plus, we make it a point to personally know every student. These relationships are invaluable to student success in their daily relationships. Our office is a place that assists students in becoming more aware of the importance of effective and positive socialization skills. Socially intelligent individuals display the ability to empathize with others, control impulses, communicate effectively, as well as make and preserve strong connections with both peers and authority figures. These seemingly basic skills have proven to be the cornerstone of success both in and beyond the classroom.
Our focus at Friends School includes:
- Bullying Awareness/Prevention
- Emotional Intelligence
- Mediation and Conflict Resolution
- Learning Differences
- Social Skills
- Challenging Times
We ensure each student's experience at VBFS is positive and effective.
