PRIMARY SCHOOL

Child development at the preschool age is happening so rapidly that everyday marks a new milestone. The Primary School counselor works closely with the students, teachers and parents to form a team to support children through this development. The counselor visits each classroom during monthly classroom lessons that address issues like friendship and self-esteem. Individual supportive counseling is available to aid students and assist parents and teachers. The counselor uses small social skills groups to help students build their interpersonal relationships with peers.

The early years are a vital time in a child's growth. Walker offers counseling services to help our students learn and grow successfully to provide a strong foundation for the future.

MIDDLE AND UPPER SCHOOL

A team of counselors complements our advisory system to provide every student with one adult on campus to go to for advice, a positive word, or for insight on how best to handle a situation. Students are assigned a faculty advisor upon entering the Upper School and stay with that advisor and advisory group through graduation. To plan course requests for the following year, each student will meet in the spring with a member of the administrative team to discuss departmental requirements and teacher recommendations. Freshmen meet with the Dean of Students, sophomores meet with the Academic Dean, and juniors meet with the Principal.
