Other Wellness Initiatives on the Horizon
Stay tuned for more information on the following wellness initiatives:

- Fourth-Grade Student Survey, early May 2013: This survey will continue to assess programs and practices that build a safe and caring Lower School community.

- Parenting Issues for Lower School, potentially late April or May 2013: Dr. Dan Moran will speak with Lower School parents about things to remember as we head into the summer months.
Our mission as Durham Academy Counselors is to support students and their families within the school community academically, socially, and emotionally.

The counseling support we offer takes many forms:
  • Lending an understanding ear to students
  • Enhancing communication between the student, family, and school
  • Referring students and/or parents to other respected community health care professionals.
  • Educating students, parents, and teachers about matters of concern to child and adolescent development.
  • Durham Academy’s counselors are professionally trained, committed individuals who serve as advocates for all our students’ academic and personal success.
Our counselors specialize in dealing with different types of student social and development issues specific to each age group.

Each of our counselors can be a valuable communication link and facilitator among students, teachers, and parents. We welcome any opportunity to serve the Durham Academy community.
