About the Guidance Counseling and Testing Center
The Guidance Counseling and Testing Center provides programs and activities designed to meet the diverse needs of learners as they develop in all aspects of life. It supports students in their personal adjustment and guides them toward responsible self-direction in addressing challenges that accompany growth and lead to Christian maturity.
The guidance program plays a vital supportive role in the educational process. Through its services, the office organizes and manages initiatives that help each individual discover strengths, overcome difficulties, and reach their fullest potential.
The GCTC assists in fulfilling the school’s responsibility for the holistic formation of learners as they grow socially, morally, vocationally, emotionally, and mentally. It maintains records and provides valuable information about each learner to gain deeper insight into their personality and development — helping Thomasian Angelican learners recognize their potentials, interests, and areas for improvement, build stronger relationships with others, and develop essential life skills.
