COLLEGE PLANNING, 9-11th GRADE

A large part of the college planning process (and life in general) has to do with the ability to make good decisions. Our College Counseling program focuses on “considered decision making,” teaching you the skills necessary to make informed, sound decisions that will help you reach your full potential. You will learn to organize, prioritize, research and weigh options and be shown positive ways of coping with life and leadership challenges. Prepare to gain powerful tools you can use the rest of your life!

With so many qualified candidates in the application pool, how do you get noticed? Develop your individuality! Individual projects are customized to your specific aptitudes and are a great way to showcase your creativity and uniqueness. While exam scores and grades are important, an individual project showcases the qualities that make you an extraordinary candidate.
