  • Elementary

    In elementary, we focus on various character building skills that are incorporated into daily lessons through social and emotional works. We follow a multi-tiered system of support to better suit the students’ needs. Tier 1 focuses on all students through classroom lessons with regards to school wide programs. Tier 2 is all about group work. It incorporates small group counseling or social skills groups. Finally, Tier 3 is an intensive instruction and intervention tier which translates to 1 on 1 counseling. This tier system allows us to incorporate exactly what is needed to assist the student with social and emotional development. Our counseling department in elementary meets where the child currently stands and works with them to inherit essential qualities of character to create a strong foundation.

  • High School

    Counseling in high school plays the part of a ladder. It is essentially a stepping stone that students take every year to lead them to their future education goals and career paths. Our counseling department will work closely with administration and students to support and assist whilst students navigate through their educational journey and create skills to work through emotional, social, and personal barriers."

  • Middle School

    The middle school mission at UAF is to support and assist students transitioning from elementary school and continue to support and prepare them for high school. A large aspect consists of developing various techniques to ensure the lessons of responsibility and the importance of good character are met through their academic, personal, social, emotional, and spiritual goals.
