If you have any questions, please contact the School Health Office at healthoffice@marianapolis.org.
Health Office Guidelines
Medication Requirements
A written prescription is required from a provider licensed in the U.S. (e.g., a physician, APRN, or PA).
- If your student brings a prescription written by a provider from another country, it must be reviewed and reordered by our school physician. This is necessary to ensure the medication meets U.S. prescribing standards and is safe and appropriate for use.
A signed authorization form from a parent/guardian must be submitted, granting the school permission to administer medication and to communicate with the prescribing provider.
All medications must be in the original pharmacy-labeled container. Medications in foreign packaging or unlabeled containers cannot be accepted.
No medication — including over-the-counter medications — will be administered without a written order from a provider licensed in the U.S., unless it is specifically included in the school’s standing orders.
Please reference our Medication Policy and reach out to healthoffice@marianapolis.org with any questions.

Counseling Services
Marianapolis Preparatory School has always taken pride in being a caring and compassionate community. Through the close and supportive relationships formed between students and faculty in the classroom, in the residential halls, during extracurricular activities, and in other facets of Marianapolis life, students have gained much more than an academic experience.
Within the residential community, the forming of values and making choices on the part of students is vital as these choices affect the health of the individual and, in turn, the well being of the community. Students often seek support in decision making from adults, which requires that faculty and staff members act responsibly in their understanding manner in their role of “in loco parentis.”
The School Counselor follows the ethical codes of the American School Counseling Association, which includes but is not limited to confidentiality practices, mandated reporting, dual relationships, and managing boundaries.
