The main goals of our comprehensive College Counseling program are to:

  • support students in the introspective process of identifying their academic and personal interests, strengths, and goals
  • help students hone in on the right match amidst nearly 4,000 colleges and universities in the U.S. and around the world
  • assist students in submitting applications that represent their very best work, including building a strong resumé, developing interview skills and crafting a compelling personal statement
  • teach life skills that will allow students to succeed in college and beyond, including managing a complex process
  • enter college feeling confident and with a deeper understanding of themselves and whom they hope to become

Our overarching priority is to encourage students to invest fully in the Upper School.

We know that the most successful college students are those who spend high school fully engaged in their academic work and involved in their communities.
