Student Support

Ashbury College has a multidisciplinary team of professionals who work together and are engaged in the community to guide our students in their personal growth, health, and wellness.

Members of the student support team act as a circle of care to capture the needs of the student. The members of this team focus on academic, social/emotional, and physical wellness.

Members of the team include our School Counsellor (MSW), Nurse (RN), Learning Strategists, Chapel and Life Skills Coordinator, and Director of Student Success and Wellness.
