Curated family meetings
Students benefit from personalized attention beginning in Middle School with our annual 8th Grade College Expo, followed by individualized information throughout high school. The College Counseling Office supports students and their parents as they navigate the college search, application process, and transition to college. We facilitate college selection by maintaining focus on the needs of the student and their family, while empowering students to take ownership over their college admission process.
Throughout high school, counselors spend significant time with students in various grade-level appropriate activities and meetings, encouraging them to explore the characteristics of colleges that will best satisfy their ambitions, talents, and personality.
