Everest Academy Manila provides dedicated guidance services to support students' social and emotional development. The Guidance Office offers comprehensive and responsive services to support academic, personal, social, and emotional growth for all students from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The program is rooted in ethical standards from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and the Philippine Guidance and Counseling Act of 2004 (RA 9258). School counselors collaborate with teachers, parents, and administrators to promote student well-being and academic success.

Everest Manila operates as a mainstream school and does not present itself as a dedicated SEN specialist institution. The admissions FAQs state that while Everest believes every child has a right to learning, the school does not have resources to provide for children with special needs beyond a certain level. Prospective students are assessed to determine whether the school can support them to fulfill their potential. The school does not publicly describe a dedicated SEN department or specialized facilities. Based on these statements, Everest Manila is not a specialist SEN institution and its SEN support is not publicly advertised as a formal program.

English is the medium of instruction at Everest Academy Manila. All applicants must take the entrance test administered in English to assess their level of English proficiency. The site does not describe a dedicated EAL program or EAL-specific support beyond the standard curriculum. The curriculum includes English Language Arts as a subject in lower primary, indicating English instruction is integrated into the core program. EAL-specific services are not publicly disclosed on the site.

Mental wellbeing is supported through the Guidance Office's work, which focuses on promoting well-being and resilience alongside academic progress. Counseling services address emotional, social, and behavioral concerns through individualized and group sessions. Information services include talks on educational and personal-social issues through orientation and information sessions. Preventive and Developmental Programs feature classroom guidance modules on virtues, life skills, and socio-emotional learning and wellness initiatives offered at all levels. Career Counseling and College Preparation also support students' confidence and future planning, contributing to overall wellbeing.

Safeguarding is framed through the Guidance Office, which is rooted in ASCA ethical standards and the Philippine Guidance and Counseling Act (RA 9258). This framework underpins the school's approach to student welfare and ethical formation, with counselors collaborating with teachers, parents, and administrators to promote well-being and safety. The Center's Core Services—Counseling, Information Service, and Preventive/Developmental Programs—are designed to support students' safety, well-being, and positive development. The guidance offerings are further contextualized by Regnum Christi principles in career counseling, emphasizing values-driven decision making. Overall, Everest Manila frames safeguarding within its guidance and formation philosophy rather than as a standalone policy document.
