Overview

School counselors are vital to fostering healthy school environments so children can thrive.

Key features

This International School Counseling Graduate Certificate from Lehigh University is designed for educators in international schools who want to advance their skills and knowledge to promote the social and emotional well-being of students inside and outside the classroom. The fall course combines social-emotional counseling with career and college counseling for holistic support.

Lehigh’s innovative faculty teach educators how to help children with developmental issues within the context of an international setting in which children are navigating a culture different from their own. Schools generally are seeing more children who are dealing with stress and mental health issues, and staff are frequently called on to be part of solutions to prevent problems from turning into something more critical.

Lehigh’s International School Counseling students benefit not just from faculty expertise, but also in learning from—and networking with—each other about issues and strategies in school settings around the world. The program attracts a very diverse group of educators with a wide range of backgrounds who enrich the curriculum by sharing their experiences.

Certificate students can apply for the M.Ed. in International School Counseling during their certificate program or upon completion. If admitted into the master's degree, the certificate classes will automatically count towards the master's degree.
