High School Counselor
1 week ago
Start Date: August 2026
Paideia is a progressive, pre-K-12, independent school in the Emory University area of Atlanta. The high school enrolls approximately 460 students. The high school curriculum consists of extensive offerings in English, social sciences, mathematics, foreign languages, natural and physical sciences, art, and music. Class size averages fifteen students.
The role of the faculty is to help students acquire the skills, information, and attitudes that will enable them to have productive and satisfying lives. We cultivate social and personal skills and emphasize student responsibility. While academic achievement varies a bit, the pool of talent is deep and most students are highly motivated. The personal and engaging culture of the school makes it an environment that is a good place to learn and supported by a caring community. The relationships between students and teachers are strong.
Duties and Responsibilities:
High school students are making a transition into adulthood and often need guidance making complex decisions. Students are navigating academic, peer, and parental pressures as they face the school day and beyond. Our job as teachers and counselors is to help them make this transition.
We have 2 full-time High School counselors who are integral to the high school administrative support team. They work closely with families, students, teachers, and the high school administration. Our counselors also partner with the learning support team in the High school. They provide a proactive program that includes direct student services such as: group activities or instruction, and individual student counseling. Our high school counselors are prepared to recognize and respond to student mental health needs and to assist families and students in seeking outside resources. They can offer short term counseling for students and can work with families on finding outside long term counseling solutions for students. Counselors also teach during either the long term or short term periods.
Minimum Qualifications:
We are looking for a candidate who is trained in child and adolescent development. Minimum requirements are a Master's Degree in counseling or related area, as well as at least 5 years of relevant experience. Applicants should also have experience working with outside mental health providers. The focus for this position will be in the high school (grades 9-12) as well as some support for the junior high program on an as-needed basis. Licensure in counseling or related fields required.
School experience is preferred, but not required for this position. Collaboration with teachers, students, families and the HS administrative team is a fundamental part of this position.
Application notes:
Interested applicants should submit a resume, cover letter, and contact information for three references via our online application.
Salary is commensurate with education and experience. A benefits package is offered for benefits-eligible positions. The Paideia School is an equal opportunity employer.
For more information about our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, our focus on both social and emotional learning with rigorous academic offerings and opportunities for extra curricular learning, please visit our website at www.paideiaschool.org.
