Student Services

Our school contracts with Phoenix School Counseling for counseling services. Counselors are available to meet individually with students upon parent request and to provide classroom guidance sessions on any needed topic. Testing is available for attention, learning or emotional concerns. Dr. Nolan is available for individual meetings or phone calls with parents on any matter pertaining to children and parenting.  There is never a charge for any service from *Dr. Nolan or her counselors as they are included as part of your tuition.

Before reaching out to Dr. Nolan, we recommend you talk with our school counselor.  She writes to you:
