The main goal of the College Counseling Program is to facilitate the college admissions process for the Academy student and their parents. Every effort is made to make the process more effective and efficient for the student. The College Counselor will advise and guide the student and her family through the process, answer any questions, remind the student about deadlines, provide information about colleges, publicize college visits to the school, submit transcripts and write letters of recommendation.

The prospect of mapping out each student’s future is exciting, rewarding and satisfying. It is important that all students research and spend adequate time on the application process since there are more than 3000 colleges and universities, all with different strengths and characteristics.

Choosing college is not an exact science - what is good for one student may not be good for another. There is NO perfect college. There are, however, many colleges that will be a ‘good’ fit. Finding the right college will take planning and organization.

The College Counselor and all of the Academy’s faculty are available to assist every student through this process.
