Elementary School Counselor

Thrive Education Partners is partnering with a growing independent school in Miami that believes exceptional education develops the whole child—not just academic achievement. Every aspect of the student experience is intentionally designed to foster intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence, physical well-being, creativity, and personal responsibility.

As a School Counselor, you'll play an important role in supporting students and strengthening the overall school community across Preschool through 8th Grade. This is a highly collaborative role that combines student support, teacher coaching, conflict resolution, parent partnership, and thoughtful follow-through.

The ideal counselor brings a warm, loving, and clear presence while remaining composed and grounded in challenging situations. They understand that their responsibility extends beyond an individual student relationship to the well-being of the broader school community.

This is an especially exciting opportunity for someone who is highly organized, proactive, and comfortable managing their own communication, documentation, calendar, and follow-up while working closely with students, families, teachers, and school leadership.

About the School

The school's educational philosophy begins with a simple belief: children learn best when their academic, emotional, and physical development are intentionally supported together.

Students experience a challenging academic program enriched by social-emotional learning, entrepreneurship, project-based learning, wellness practices, and meaningful real-world experiences. The school places a strong emphasis on helping children develop not only academic skills, but also self-awareness, emotional regulation, resilience, creativity, initiative, and independence.

Families are viewed as trusted partners in their children's education, and educators are expected to build thoughtful, proactive relationships with parents.

The culture is both high-expectation and highly supportive. Educators work collaboratively to understand student needs, solve problems, and create a calm, cohesive school environment.
