Academic & Wellness Counseling
Dominican Academy’s culture of academic rigor is balanced by an environment that’s deeply supportive and grounded in community. Wellness isn’t an add-on—it’s part of who we are, rooted in the belief that students thrive when their emotional, social, academic, and personal needs are supported in thoughtful and intentional ways.
Counseling That Grows With You
Our four-year counseling program is designed to meet students where they are and support their development as young women of purpose, resilience, and self-awareness.
Academic Support, Rooted in Community
Peer Tutoring is available throughout the week in the school library, where students can receive one-on-one help from fellow classmates in the National Honor Society, as well as from D.A. faculty in both STEM and Humanities.
D.A. Counselors also incorporate study strategies and life balance tools into their lessons—especially helpful during midterms and finals.
Prayer and Reflection: Rooted in Faith, Open to All
At Dominican Academy, spiritual life is an essential part of our community. As a school, D.A. gathers regularly for school-wide liturgies on feast days and Holy days, with students able to play an active role in readings, music, and service. Opportunities for Reconciliation and weekday Mass are also offered throughout the year. Each day includes prayer, setting a thoughtful tone for learning and life.
Each grade also participates in a class retreat designed to match their stage of growth—from building community as freshmen to reflecting on leadership and purpose as seniors. These retreats offer space for connection, reflection, and renewal.
