HOME / HIGH SCHOOL / WHOLE CHILD SUPPORT
Whole Child Support
High School brings new academic demands and social expectations at the same time. Stanbridge's built-in supports are designed to address both, in a coordinated way, throughout all four years.
Licensed counselors, a speech-language pathologist, an occupational therapist and a learning specialist work alongside classroom teachers every day. Counseling services include short-term individual support, teacher consultation and collaboration with outside professionals, ensuring students receive consistent support across every setting in their lives. Counselors also work directly with families to reinforce skills and strategies between home and school.

Social Learning is taught explicitly at every grade level, grounded in CASEL standards, Michelle Garcia Winner's Social Thinking and Leah M. Kuyper's Zones of Regulation. The Advisory program supports executive functioning through peer relationship work, conflict resolution, service learning and goal-setting activities designed to build autonomy and competence.
The Emote system gives students a schoolwide tool to log their emotional state, creating real-time data that informs individualized support plans and helps staff respond quickly. Teachers are trained to recognize when a student is not ready to learn and to guide them toward self-regulation before academic engagement resumes.
