The college counseling office works individually with students throughout high school in preparation for the college process. College counselors help students identify best-fit colleges based on each student’s academic profile, personal interests, and aspirations.

Programming for students and parents occurs throughout the year in recognition that not all families have a current understanding of the selective college admissions landscape. The college counseling office has expertise in university admissions in many parts of the world, including the US, Canada, the UK, continental Europe, and Asia.
