Most school counselling programs work hard. Few can demonstrate impact.
International school counsellors are increasingly asked to prove effectiveness, support accreditation reviews, and justify priorities — yet without a structured framework it's hard to identify gaps, track progress, or show impact to leadership.
One assessment. Clear evidence. Practical action.
- Evaluate your program's maturity

What exactly is Faro360?+
Faro360 is a guided self-assessment for your school counselling program. You rate your program across eight domains on a five-level maturity model, and you get back a board-ready report: your overall maturity level, a per-domain breakdown, an accreditation-readiness view, an evidence-gap analysis, a 12-month action plan, and a matched pack of resources — plus a clean PDF you can hand to leadership.
Who is it for?+
School counsellors, heads of wellbeing, and senior leadership at international schools — especially anyone preparing for a CIS, WASC, NEASC/Cognia or IB review, or simply wanting to show their counselling program is effective and improving.
How long does the assessment take?+
About 20–30 minutes for the full 40-indicator assessment. Your answers save automatically as you go, so you can pause and pick up later, or invite a colleague to finish a section.
What's in the report?+
Your overall maturity band and score; a breakdown for each of the eight domains; an accreditation-readiness view mapped to what CIS, WASC, NEASC/Cognia and IB reviews emphasise; an evidence-gap analysis showing what a reviewer would still want documented; a prioritised 12-month improvement roadmap; a resource pack (a video, article and template for each gap); year-over-year progress; a board-ready PDF export; and an AI advisor that answers questions about your results and drafts documents from them.
What is the AI report advisor?+
A chat built into your report that has read your results. Ask it what to prioritise and why, or have it draft things from your real numbers — a board summary, accreditation evidence paragraphs, a term plan, or the case for more counselling staff. It works only with your program-level results (never student data), and its drafts are starting points for you to review and adapt.
Is this an official accreditation?+
No. Faro360 is an independent readiness tool. We align to the areas CIS, WASC, NEASC/Cognia and IB reviews look at, but we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any accreditor. It's your own internal preparation — not an official assessment or a guarantee of any outcome.
Do you collect any student data?+
Never. The assessment is about your program, not individual students — there are no student names or personal records anywhere in the tool. You'll never be asked for them.
How much does it cost?+
The free 60-second readiness check needs no card. The School Plan is $399/year — a founding-school rate for the first 50 schools, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. It covers the full 40-indicator assessment and report for your whole team, with unlimited re-assessments and year-over-year progress tracking. An optional Expert Review (from $750) adds a 1:1 session with a specialist to prepare for your accreditation visit.
Stop guessing. Start measuring.
Understand your strengths, uncover your gaps, and prepare for accreditation with confidence.
