The Guidance School prioritizes mental health and the accessibility of guidance counselors for students. Studies have shown that walking releases stress and helps students learn better. The organic and meandering pathways allow students to get lost in the green space, slowing down the process from getting to class for moments of reflection. With the insertion of this green guidance walkway, the Guidance School facilitates mental and physical flow which will lead to students with healthier minds, clearer thinking, and reflective experiences.
