Upper Arlington Schools has school counselors in all K-12 school buildings who seek to support the needs of all students, collaboratively working with teachers and related staff to ensure the academic and social-emotional success of our students both here in Upper Arlington and in their next step in life.

Our school counseling curriculum aims to help students:

• Understand the skills needed to achieve academically and deal with academic challenges;

• Learn how to manage emotions and apply interpersonal skills; and

• Recognize their skills and interests, and understand the options that are available in their future following graduation.

Our school counselors offer direct and indirect support to students through classroom lessons; small group or individual counseling; and collaboration with staff, parents/guardians and community agencies. When needed, they will seek referrals for additional support through our partnerships with Syntero and Ohio State.
