Francis W. Parker School is a renowned JK-12th grade independent day school. Founded in 1901 on the tenets of progressive education, the school currently enrolls 940 students and employs over 200 dedicated faculty and staff members who, in addition to assistant teachers, substitute teachers and coaches, work together to ensure that the School lives up to its Mission to “educate students to think and act with empathy, courage and clarity as responsible citizens and leaders in a diverse, democratic society and global community.”
We are currently seeking a Counselor to join our expert faculty (5th and 6th grades). The Counselor aims to provide social-emotional support to students and their families. Working closely with the Division Head, Learning Resource teachers, faculty, and parents/guardians, the Counselor identifies and addresses social-emotional and learning issues in individual students.
The Counselor will provide brief solution-focused counseling to students, facilitate small groups, coordinate higher levels of care, and help coordinate student services. The Counselor will also design and facilitate lessons and workshops for students and families.
