Career Development

Counselors Support

At the secondary level, the school counselor is knowledgeable about the world of work, career theories, and related life processes, and develops programs and interventions to promote the career development of all students. Career development currently at GWA is introduced upon our students’ transition to middle school. Career development lessons are offered through our educational platform, Unifrog. Lessons are typically delivered to students during their Advisory blocks by their Advisors and/or class lessons with the counselor.
