The Student Counseling Center provides services to all students at Ariel Community Academy from Pre-Kdg to 8th grade.  We offer conflict resolution for our students when needed and provide a place for students to come and discuss personal problems.  We believe that it is our duty to help students learn coping skills that will help them in the future.

The Student Counseling Center also is the meeting place for all athletic teams at our school.  This is where they discuss teamwork, strategies, and other issues that concern the team. 

The Student Counseling Center also serves as a classroom that has a variety of classes such as current events, school newspaper, debate team, career education, and study hall.

The guidance counselor also uses the student services room as an office also. This is where the 8th graders consult with the counselor about high school choices. The school counselor is in charge of student transfers, career fairs, and all things related to high school transition.
