GUIDANCE AND
CAREER EDUCATION
MIDDLE SCHOOL
The purpose of the Middle School Guidance program
is to develop a safe, supportive and caring learning
environment that fosters individual growth and self-
reflection in students.
Students will use an inquiry approach to develop an
academic plan based on individual questions that
arise during each stage. The academic plan will help
students take responsibility for their education, make
informed decisions and plan for the future. Study
skills, interpersonal communication skills, developing
positive attitudes, self-awareness and self-esteem will
be incorporated into the program. The students will also
participate in a series of workshops that involve personal
safety, goal setting, wellness and stress management.
