Health, Wellness, and Support
Advisory An advisory is a student’s “family” within the larger LFA community. With just five to eight students in an advisory, it’s easy to bond with the group. Advisories usually meet on Monday and Thursday mornings, and sit together during All-School Meetings. Advisories share group and individual experiences, develop their own unique traditions, and create memories. Advisors are in constant communication with parents and guardians regarding students’ academic performances and act as key supporters of their advisees during their time at LFA.

Student Health and Counseling LFA’s infirmary is staffed seven days a week by the Director of Health Services and one of four rotating nurses. They treat sick students, supply over-the-counter medications, and dispense prescription medication. They will also take students to any medical appointments as needed, such as the dentist or doctor. At times, a student may need the help of a professional counselor to explore and resolve personal difficulties. The two counselors at LFA are available to provide clinical assessments, short-term therapy, educational resources, and referrals to outside agencies or therapists. Counseling is available to all LFA students and can be initiated by parents, faculty, or students themselves.
