School Life
Counseling
At BFIS we believe in creating a space where every student feels heard, valued, and understood. Our compassionate and dedicated team of counselors are here to walk alongside our students - through the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Counseling Program
The BFIS Social Emotional Counselors are here to support students in developing skills around self awareness, child protection, self advocacy, self regulation, communication and conflict resolution. The Counselors work with students individually and in small groups and teach age appropriate social-emotional learning (SEL) and comprehensive sexuality health and wellbeing (CSHW) content to students in all grade levels.
