Philosophy:
The Counseling Department supports the high school’s mission of teaching “all students to think critically and creatively and to develop their potential through a diverse program of courses and activities that help them mature into productive and responsible citizens.” To that end, Amity Counseling Services offers a comprehensive program that assists students to acquire critical and creative thinking skills in the academic, career, personal, social, and civic aspects of their development. These programs and activities enable students to develop their potential and mature into productive, responsible, lifelong learners and world citizens. Counseling services are proactive, developmental and responsive to the needs of every student.
