Counseling

East Brunswick public schools is proud to implement a developmental counseling program. Our program will support students to achieve success in school, outside of school, and to develop into contributing members of society. Counselors recognize the uniqueness and personal worth of each child. Our counseling program focuses on each student’s potential for growth within the context of his/her individual family and cultural perspective. This program adheres to the National Standards for School Counseling programs and Ethical Standards as set forth by the American School Counseling Association.  Also incorporated into this program are the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. This program supports academic, career and social development.   

The Counseling program addresses student needs as the primary focus.  The program focuses on activities that help students acquire knowledge, skills, and understanding to cope with all developmental stages of life. The purpose of the counseling program is to promote and enhance learning for all students.  School Counselors work with students individually and in groups, assisting with school-related and personal concerns. The Counselors also deliver classroom career counseling lessons quarterly. In addition, School Counselors work closely with teachers to support students of all developmental levels to be successful.
