To support its Secondary students in all of these things, the International French School (IFS) in Singapore has established a new Counselling Department, including the IFS Counselling Centre, which aims to provide a safe and friendly environment where students can express themselves and receive non-judgemental support in different facets of life.
School counsellors and psychologists offer compassionate guidance and personalised care in both individual and group sessions that are tailor-made to address each student’s unique needs to help them ultimately succeed academically, socially and emotionally.
