The Missouri Academy is committed to the student's entire life experience while at Northwest Missouri State University. Student life and wellness are important components of that experience. Students engage in various forms of wellness education. Issues like taking responsibility for one's health, stress management, fitness, and nutrition are addressed. Examples of wellness activities include the football club, recreational racquetball, healthy snacks at programs, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) tournaments, recreational play, and many more. Missouri Academy students have free access to the university student recreation center during operating hours. Northwest Missouri State University also employs a dietitian who is available to the Northwest and Missouri Academy communities.
The Missouri Academy has a full time licensed mental health counselor on staff who is dedicated to providing counseling to all Missouri Academy students during the academic year. New enrolling students meet with the counselor at least one time during their first semester and all students are encouraged to stop by the counselor's office to visit or, if needed, to make an appointment. Counseling is private, and counseling sessions are strictly confidential and provided to students at no charge. Counseling sessions vary widely depending on student needs, but in general, include such issues as adjustment to Missouri Academy life, study habits, interpersonal relationships, dependence and independence issues and any other concerns students, parents and staff may have.
