Student Life
Wellness and belonging
Ozark tries to be a place where every student feels safe, known, and supported. These are some of the gentle, everyday ways the school looks after its community.
Support for every student
Counseling
The school counselor, Ms. Priya Raman, is a friendly first stop when a student needs someone to talk to, help sorting out a worry, or a calm plan for a hard day.
Harbor Seminar advisory
Every student belongs to a small advisory group that meets daily — a steady home base where being known by name is the whole point.
Peer welcome team
Older students volunteer to greet newcomers, show them around the campus, and make sure no one eats lunch alone in their first weeks.
The quiet room
A calm, low-light space students can visit to take a breath, reset, and rejoin the day when things feel like a lot.
A culture of looking out for each other
The heart of wellness at the Ozark is simple: students do best when they feel they belong. Advisory groups, the peer welcome team, and a counselor who knows them by name all work toward the same quiet goal — that every student has someone to turn to and a place to land.
Much of this support flows through the daily advisory program. You can read more about it in Academics.
