Thetford Academy’s Counseling Office works to help students reach their personal academic and post-secondary goals, providing assistance with course selection and sequence, college counseling and preparation, study-abroad and dual enrollment opportunities, and social and emotional support.
School counselors work closely with advisors and grade-level teams to collaborate on students’ progress and challenges. All students are assigned a counselor who will provide individualized support throughout their years at TA.
Social Emotional Support
Thetford Academy’s school counselors work with students to short-term individual or small-group counseling for stress, family issues, peer conflicts, and emotional well-being. If more targeted services are needed, students are referred to the Student Assistance Provider (SAP). The SAP generally provides more specific social-emotional support, short-term counseling and/or intervention services. The SAP also frequently makes referrals to outside resources.
Academic Planning
The Counseling Office provides resources and support for students seeking opportunities of interest and challenge beyond TA’s core curriculum. Counselors help students explore study abroad options, dual enrollment and college credit opportunities, and technical and apprenticeship programs.
College and Career Planning
As students prepare for graduation, TA’s Counseling Office works closely with each student to help them achieve their post-secondary goals. Whether a student’s interest is in two or four-year colleges, the armed services, or interim/gap year programs, TA’s counselors are prepared to support students and families every step of the way.
