A Clear Path to Academic and Personal Success
Genesis College, an International Baccalaureate® (IB) accredited school, has the primary goal of educating successful, responsible adults, who are motivated to excel in the fields they choose to explore.
One of the ways we achieve this goal is through our counselling and guidance programme, which operates across several key areas. Here’s what they are!
Area of Focus for the Counselling and Guidance Programme
Social-Emotional Development
High School is an emotionally intense time for students: they have to make decisions that will shape their adult lives and meet a new set of academic standards. Throughout this period, they also navigate the challenges posed by the physical and emotional changes typical of this age.
That is why, at the high school level, at Genesis College, we support students’ social-emotional growth, which helps them improve key areas such as self-awareness, social and interpersonal skills, and decision-making abilities.
At Genesis College, we support the development of the motivation to learn, the establishment of healthy relationships – both among students and with adults – and adherence to the rules set by the group. Our specialists encourage students to express themselves and help them build the social-emotional skills necessary for life using role-play and therapeutic storytelling.
Depending on the students’ needs and the situations that arise, our professionals organise workshops and meetings with the students, their parents and their classroom teachers.
Benefits for students:
- They discover their true selves
- They get in touch with their emotions and learn how to manage them
- They learn how to interact harmoniously with others and how to solve conflicts.
Preventing Bullying and Creating a Safe Environment
Bullying is a problem faced by students around the world, and it can have a profound emotional impact on its victims.
At Genesis College, we run an anti-bullying programme in which students practise different roles and scenarios, and each class participates in regular anti-bullying activities following periodic meetings with our school psychologists.
A Differentiated Approach
and Inclusive Education
At Genesis College, students have the opportunity to develop their abilities through hands-on activities, which is why we tailor our teaching approach to each student’s individual abilities. We promote inclusive education, recognising that students’ academic needs are diverse and unique, requiring a personalised approach to the learning process. Based on recommendations from the school’s counsellors and psychologists, teachers use different approaches tailored to each student.
Career Counselling and Guidance
Our specialists assess each student’s aptitudes, interests, skills, and competencies so that they can find a balance between what they want to do, what they are capable of doing, and what they will do in their professional lives. Additionally, to stay up to date with labour market demands and get a feel for the atmosphere at various companies, Genesis College organises for the high school students an internship programme. In this framework, students can apply the knowledge they have gained during classes in a hands-on internship at leading companies in Romania.
Students also have the opportunity to participate in career guidance events organised by Genesis College, which has established partnerships with consulting organisations specialising in higher education in Europe and the Americas.
Benefits for students:
- Identifying one’s own resources and skills, as well as the professional fields in which they could be put to good use;
- Becoming familiar with the requirements and atmosphere of various professional environments;
- Gaining exposure to the realities, opportunities, and challenges of the professional world.
Throughout high school, the Genesis College specialists support students in their emotional, social, and academic development, working closely with parents and teachers. This partnership helps students develop emotional self-regulation, conflict resolution skills, and responsible behaviour.
