Guidance Counseling
How may we help you?
Please feel free to contact our Admissions Office if you have any questions.
As a community, we care greatly about our students and their well-being because we know that to thrive in all aspects of life, we must be mentally and emotionally well. The World Health Organization defines mental health as “a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community.”
ASM believes that all students should have the opportunity to reach their full potential and achieve a meaningful pathway in life. Therefore, ASM is committed to building students’ strengths and a secure learning environment where all students feel emotionally, physically, and culturally safe, reflecting the school’s values of respect, caring, responsibility, resilience, trustworthiness, fairness, and citizenship.
