College Counseling

Support. Guidance. Charting the Course.

LIFE PLANNED

During the spring of junior year, each student meets with a college counselor to begin the college planning process. After reviewing senior course selections, testing plans, and a personal questionnaire, the counselor and student start generating a list of potential colleges.

This initial list serves as the foundation for the college search but it is updated and refined throughout the process. Often, it starts quite large and requires the student to clarify preferences. After careful research and discussion, the student plans campus visits, ideally from July to early September. Once school starts, seniors are granted college visiting days as needed.

A final list of application schools is created following another meeting in early fall. Students then organize application requirements, write essays, and complete applications. Our philosophy empowers students to lead their own process while seeking placement office advice as often as needed, with parents encouraged to support without taking over.
