Each student has access to numerous resources for Social and Personal growth and development including their counselor, a school social worker, and a school psychologist. As part of their Individual Learning Plan (ILP), each student has the ability to track their social and emotional plans from grade 6-12 and plan for the future. The ILP is online at waytogori.org.
