Albuquerque Academy, a co-ed, independent, college preparatory day school, seeks a counselor who will join a team of four licensed mental health professionals in August 2018.

The Counseling and Human Development team works in a variety of ways to promote the mental health and well-being of students at the school.  Our mission is one of excellence, opportunity, caring, and inclusion.  The counselor will work primarily, though not exclusively, in the two upper divisions: 8-9 and 10-12 and will work closely with students, parents, faculty and staff in key areas: crisis intervention, short-term and group therapy, making referrals to, and consulting with, therapists in the community, and consulting with the school counseling team. Counselors also consult and support faculty and staff in their work with struggling students. Currently, health classes are offered in grades 8 and 10, and counselors are responsible for delivering and improving the health curriculum. Additionally, counselors present programs to faculty and parents on issues relevant to adolescent development. 

Albuquerque Academy has a diverse student body, comprising over 50% students of color and 28% students receiving financial assistance. We encourage applications from members of groups traditionally underrepresented in independent school communities.
