College Counseling

The Counseling Department at Village Christian School is committed to the academic, socio-emotional, and spiritual growth of each student. Serving the grades 6-12, our staff welcomes families into the community by customizing and navigating their academic plans in both middle and high school. As the director, I have the privilege to work alongside some of the most skilled professionals who genuinely C.A.R.E. about each young person on campus. Additionally, our college prep program seeks to provide appropriate support for each student’s academic goals as well as help plan for their endeavors post high school and into university or vocational training. Our goal is to serve and support students in each unique God-given path set before them. The years of adolescent development and preparing for post-secondary education are filled with significant opportunities to impact young people.

With that, the counselors at each grade level work towards meeting the needs of students by cultivating opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. We openly partner with families and faculty to bridge together and support each student. We are the network builders and student advocates to help ensure that the most formative years of adolescence leave no student alone or without someone whom they can depend on for counsel and care. Our team prides on making ourselves available, approachable, and genuine in the real relationships we cultivate with students. We welcome you to come to get to know us and learn what resources we can provide your students to thrive and excel through their middle and high school years.

Blessings,

HyunJa Yi
