College Counseling
Long Term Success & Happiness
Choosing the right college can be a daunting task but it doesn’t have to be. All students receive personal attention and an in depth college dive so that the college they choose is the perfect fit for them based on student interests and desired campus life. Whether you choose a large public campus or smaller independent private college, you will feel empowered that the decision you make is best for you and your long term success and happiness.
At the beginning of each year and several times throughout, students will meet with an advisor who will guide them as they begin to settle into their courses and establish themselves at Campbell Hall as lifelong learners. The advisor will meet with students in small group and individually to pin down personal interests and goal setting in anticipation of the formal college counseling and application process.
For more information regarding our process, attend one of our information sessions as they become available.
Overview by Grade Year
9TH GRADE
Students in 9th grade focus on settling into new routines and exploring their personal interests as they navigate a new learning environment. They will have access to an advisor and engage with information regarding college counseling in anticipation of their formal application process.
10TH GRADE
In grade 10, students are formally introduced to the college process and connected with platforms to facilitate success. Students are highly encouraged to take both the PSAT and ACT practice tests to see which one is a better fit.
11th GRADE
Throughout the year, students and parents will have an opportunity to attend several information sessions regarding the application process and should start visiting college campuses so that they make informed decisions. Students also meet in a one-to-one session with their advisor following the October sitting for the SAT. Don’t worry, we will guide you every step of the way.
12TH GRADE
During the senior year, students engage in answering “personal insight questions” and meet more regularly with their advisor. Counseling sessions become more important than ever as students finalize their college lists, apply for financial aid, and submit applications and eagerly await college decisions. This list is not exhaustive and students will have other tasks they will need to complete.
