SBEC desires to foster in students a reliance on Scripture and Christian principles as their guide and on God as their support as they learn to understand concepts, live in harmony with others, and find God's purpose for their lives. Through a variety of activities and services, the guidance and counseling program for students in kindergarten through eighth grade seeks to assist students in fully developing their God-given talents, abilities, and interests. As needs are identified, the counselor is available for students at these levels on an individual basis and works closely with their parents and teachers. A referral system is available to assist in identifying possible learning difficulties. Maintaining records and coordinating achievement testing are also a part of the guidance program.
The counselor conducts scheduled classroom guidance classes on a bi-weekly basis in grades four through six. Areas of personal, social and academic development are explored, and these group sessions give the counselor and students the opportunity to develop a rapport as they see each other and work together on a regular basis. As students prepare to enter seventh grade, guidance is provided in course choice and emphasis placed on principles and skills needed for success as they become more independent.
The counselor continues to oversee the progress of students as they continue through eighth grade. Throughout the program, the goal is to support each student as a unique child of God through teamwork of all involved-family, teachers, administrators and counselor.
