The Trinity College School guidance department endeavours to support the growth and development of every student.

Through group and individual meetings at every grade level, our team of guidance professionals:

• Guide students to think about their values
• Grow awareness of educational pathways
• Educate about planning for the future
• Facilitate social-emotional understanding, development and education

We understand the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment where students feel welcomed and affirmed. In addition, we are committed to working closely with parents and faculty to ensure a highly integrated approach to student support.

While at TCS, all students will have access to a guidance counsellor, assigned by house.
