University and Career Counselling

The ARIS University and Career Guidance Counselling Programme is a comprehensive, developmental program designed to assist students in making and implementing informed educational and occupational choices. This programme seeks to provide developmental and systematic support to each student to ensure their academic, career, personal and social development and achievement. The counselors are professional school advocates who provide proactive and preventative support to maximize student potential.

The programmes and interventions offered to students are delivered collaboratively with school staff, families and members of the community to offer seamless transitions to each student’s next steps.

The ultimate goal of our programmes is that each student from ARIS will transition smoothly to the next level of education with a clear sense of direction as to which career to pursue, which subjects to study and eventually graduate with a personal, academic and career-related skills and knowledge to make responsible decisions and to positively contribute to society.

The department serves as a “one-stop shop” for all its students by providing them with these services:

- Applications for admissions and scholarships

- Accommodation advice

- Visa counseling

- External examinations (ACT/SAT/IELTS/TOEFL)
