Counseling services are provided in each of our three divisions (Lower School, Middle School and Upper School) by a full-time licensed counselor specific to the division. Counselors are available to students, parents, faculty and staff to offer support and guidance. The counselor in each division provides personal counseling to individuals, serves as a resource for social and emotional concerns, conducts classes and/or small groups, provides parent education and makes referrals to off-campus professionals and agencies.

In keeping with our mission to foster an inclusive Episcopal community, Parish seeks to attract and maintain a diverse and talented student body, including students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. As such, the School is committed to making a Parish education both accessible and affordable. Parish’s tuition assistance philosophy is based on the principle that each family contributes to their student’s tuition to the extent they are financially able. No family should assume that a Parish education is out of reach solely for financial reasons.
