Counseling and Support

HOW ARE MAKER STUDENTS SUPPORTED BY OUR COUNSELING PROGRAM?

Urban Assembly Maker Academy’s comprehensive school counseling program will underpin the school’s vision that the world needs problem solvers who can find and solve challenges to create positive change in a world where change is the only constant. UA Maker values diversity, equity, and inclusion and strives to have these values reflected in all aspects of our school.

We work to create and foster an atmosphere of openness where all dimensions of diversity and beliefs are valued and respected. Our focus is to provide high quality, culturally sensitive education that affirms the value and humanity of all students and families. Urban Assembly Maker Academy is committed to social justice.

The guidance department, composed of a guidance counselor, a director of post-secondary readiness, a school social worker and a transformative justice coordinator, will promote equitable, healthy student development in a safe, welcoming, affirming, and nurturing learning environment. Students will be provided the opportunity to explore their interests, embrace their individuality, and enhance knowledge of self as well as plan for their future. As the challenges and expectations of our students change, the guidance department, too, will evolve in an effort to provide maximum support and help our students develop into productive, caring and ethical, problem solvers of the future.
