Our mission
The counselling department at Westminster Academy is much more than just career & academic counselling. For us, it’s about helping a child pave the way for their future. It’s about doing what needs to be done today, in order to achieve what we want tomorrow.
Our mission is to help our students thrive and is founded in having foresight and determination.
Committed to seeing our students excel in everything they do, we not only guide them with making the right academic choices, but also help them create an infrastructure for success in their studies and careers. Whether it’s applying to a dream university, or building a portfolio of activities and grades that reveal their true potential, the counselling department has always got you covered.
With a mission to help students realize their strengths and identify the areas which require further improvement, we work with our students in the following areas:
a. Guidance Counselling
b. Career Counselling
c. Subject Combinations
d. Portfolio Building
e. Internship Placements
f. Summer Programmes
g. University Applications
Counselling is the need of the present times when the student is exposed to too many career options and a flood of information.
