The framework for the Healthy Living Curriculum is composed of five critical domains of personal wellness to help students lead healthy lives:

  • Spiritual Health
  • Physical Health
  • Emotional Health
  • Mental Health
  • Social Health

Counseling is also an integral part of the educational process that impacts the lives of our students.  Our emphasis is on making positive decisions that will lead to successful and healthy lives. 

We ask our counselors to familiarize themselves with our region and make efforts to understand the local culture and its core values. Counselors should have skills and knowledge in dealing with potential crisis situations and de-escalation methods to assist in alleviating student problems.  NWABSD has site counselors in Kotzebue and Selawik, as well as itinerant counselors that travel to our village school communities to provide counseling services.
