Student Health & Wellness

FASP’s mission is to provide a nurturing and creative learning environment that enables the development of the whole child. We achieve this mission through our exemplary bilingual, multicultural education and by taking care of the physical, psychological, and emotional health of our students. Outlined below is a description of the various health and wellness support services available to our students.

At FASP, we have a dedicated Counselor, a registered Nurse, as well as access to a Child Study Team available through Monmouth Ocean Educational Services Commission. 

Our experienced Counselor leads the school’s Social Emotional Learning program that helps students develop self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Supplemental resources such as the popular Dr. Friendtastic podcasts are utilized to initiate discussions with students alongside planned activities and educational opportunities.

The presence of a Nurse onsite helps promote a healthy and safe school environment by providing primary medical care activities such as monitoring immunization records, administering first aid, and coordinating with parents when further medical attention is necessary.

• Enrolled full-time in a NJ state approved nonpublic, elementary or secondary school 
• Be between the ages of 5-20 for Chapter 192 services, or 5-21 for Chapter 193 services
