College Preparation

Our College Counseling Program

Due to our size and the stability of our faculty, our college preparation process offers comprehensive and sustained advice throughout the transition to higher education. This assistance, both formal and informal, consists of regularly scheduled and unscheduled meetings with students and parents, support during college tours, and regular communication with admissions personnel at other colleges.
