The guidance department has counsellors to promote personal and consistent contact with students. The counsellor is a teacher with additional training who work with students individually and in groups on educational planning, career planning, and personal counselling.

Our guidance counselors can provide to students and parents, individual assistance and short-term counseling with detailed information about various careers and information about the course selection that will prepare them to enter into those careers. at North Uplands we tailor placement plans for individual students, and assist them to complete their university application. Our education professionals introduce students to universities and their specialty departments, counsel students on various majors and future career opportunities. They also make sure application packages are properly prepared and submitted in a timely fashion so students don’t miss their time to start learning at their university of choice.

Current students, who’s OSRs are held by North Uplands School, will have Annual Education Plans created in consultation with the student, the student’s parent/guardian when the student is under 18 years of age and the school guidance counsellors. We continuously monitor each student’s individual needs and interests. Based on our evaluation, we work with each student to co-plan their courses selection and schedules. This individualized learning plan enables us to help target universities and career fields well-suited for each student, leading to progress in personal development and success in university admissions.

Students may come to schedule appointments before school, at lunch and after school.
