Counseling
At Skedmia we recognize the uniqueness of each Student through a programme of learning that promotes challenge and personalized learning at all levels and by providing an enabling, inclusive environment which empowers all to achieve. We encourage creative and critical thinking within the context of meaningful and stimulating experiences. Our counselors working in a virtual setting provide a Academy counseling program through the use of technology and distance (virtual/online/e-learning) counseling with the same standards and adherence to ethics as Academy counselors working in traditional school settings. Our counselors work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure equity, access and success of all students whether virtual school counseling is offered synchronously or asynchronously. Academy counselors provide programming to promote engagement in the virtual school counseling platform to ensure students can gain access to the tools required to reach their potential.
Counselors understand the additional concerns related to the use of distance counseling, technology and social media and make every attempt to protect confidentiality and meet any legal and ethical requirements for the use of such resources. Academy counselors understand the expectations and limitations of providing virtual Academy counseling. They have the responsibility to provide a Academy counseling program that supports students in academic, career and social/emotional development; a program that closely emulates the guidance/counseling provision that would take place in a regular, face-to-face school environment. Virtual school counseling provides a means to reach, support and positively impact students throughout their remote learning journey. Within this context, Academy counselors will be prepared to support students with guidance and access to tools and resources required to reach their potential.
Part Time Work
Students now have the opportunity to work part-time while studying in Skedmia. The Skedmia also offers strong opportunities for future employment and career growth. Helping your students decide whether to work during Study is an important discussion that can have repercussions on their success. Studies show that students who work are more confident and possess better time-management skills than students who are not employed. In addition to offering a paycheck, some independence and satisfaction, a part-time job can provide both training and experience. Working teaches students about responsibility and can also reinforce what they are learning. “Admission representatives want to find candidates who demonstrate maturity, responsibility, independence and initiative — and good workers certainly demonstrate those important character traits. The major point that students should keep in mind is the importance of balance “We want our students to establish . . . a healthy balance in life . . . and work to maintain it throughout their lives.” If working will interfere with completing Academic work, participating in extracurricular activities, spending time with family and friends or getting enough rest, it may not be a wise decision.
