Our role is to provide comprehensive services that meet the personal/social, academic, and career preparation/college planning needs of all students. Our goal is to promote a commitment to lifelong learning, personal, and academic growth, and to aid students in becoming responsible, culturally aware, and productive members of society.

Counselors at West Michigan Aviation Academy adhere to the American School Counselor Association’s Code of Ethics. As such, we believe the counseling relationship between students and their school counselor requires an atmosphere of trust and confidence. Students must trust the school counselor in order to be able to enter into a meaningful and honest dialogue. Information shared with a school counselor will remain confidential unless the counselor learns of potential harm to the student or someone else, or if reporting is legally required. If potential harm exists, the counselor will use professional judgment to confer and/or report out.
