Be Prepared for Success in Academics, Personal Growth & College
Caring, attentive and highly-skilled college and school counselors work closely with each student to ensure that he or she is well prepared, academically and socially, for success in high school and ultimately with the college admissions process. CB is the only local high school to provide students with dedicated grade-level counselors, a four-year comprehensive counseling program, and a wellness and prevention program to proactively address the many choices and challenges facing teens today.
Wellness Counseling
Wellness at Christian Brothers encourages student responsibility for being their best selves within a full, balanced, and healthy lifestyle.
Wellness is a state of being healthy. It is a proactive pursuit of continued growth and balance in seven essential areas: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Academic, Emotional, Social, and Environmental.
More simply put, wellness is the ability to know one’s needs and find – then sustain – balance between the mind, body, and spirit, thus creating the opportunity to thrive.
