Most school counselling programs work hard. Few can demonstrate impact.

International school counsellors are increasingly asked to prove effectiveness, support accreditation reviews, and justify priorities — yet without a structured framework it's hard to identify gaps, track progress, or show impact to leadership.

One assessment. Clear evidence. Practical action.

  • Evaluate your program's maturity
  • Identify strengths and weaknesses
  • Highlight accreditation-readiness gaps
  • Generate a leadership-ready report
  • Build a strategic improvement roadmap

Questions, answered

What exactly is this?+

A guided self-assessment for your school counselling program. You score your program across eight domains, and you get a board-ready report with your maturity level, accreditation readiness, evidence gaps, a 12-month action plan, and a matched resource pack.

Who is it for?+

School counsellors, heads of wellbeing, and senior leadership at international schools — especially those preparing for a CIS, WASC, NEASC/Cognia or IB review.

Is this an official accreditation?+

No. It's an independent readiness tool. We align to what CIS, WASC, NEASC/Cognia and IB reviews look at, but we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any accreditor — it's your internal preparation, not an official assessment.

Do you collect any student data?+

Never. The assessment is about your program, not individual students — there are no student names or personal data anywhere in the tool.

How much does it cost?+

The assessment is free — take it and see your maturity score with no card. The School Plan is $399/year and unlocks the full report for your whole team, with unlimited re-assessments and year-over-year progress tracking. An optional Expert Review (from $750) adds a 1:1 session with a specialist before your accreditation visit.

Can we track improvement over time?+

Yes. Re-assess each term or year and the report shows exactly how your program has moved, domain by domain — your evidence of improvement for boards and accreditors.

How do we sign in?+

With your school Google or Microsoft account, or a secure email link — no passwords to manage. Each school's data is private and isolated to that school.

Stop guessing. Start measuring.

Understand your strengths, uncover your gaps, and prepare for accreditation with confidence.
