Guidance Counseling
At Subiaco Academy, each student is a top priority. The Student Services team works collaboratively to provide academic, social, and spiritual support. The team meets weekly to increase teacher awareness of distinctive learning characteristics of individual students and coordinate interventions in reading comprehension, study/organizational skills and time management. The team serves as mentors for learning, teaching, and thinking strategies, and academic skills acquisition.
