College Placement
Our Mission & Approach
The Prep College Placement office provides our families with comprehensive, attentive and thoughtful college advisement. In the winter trimester, junior students are assigned their College Counselor and are able to schedule introductory meetings. Our College Counselors build both trusting and supportive relationships with our students while also encouraging them to take the reins of their future. We inspire our students to become self-advocates while building self-confidence along the way. Our mission is to assist our students with finding colleges and universities that match the breadth of their educational and social needs; where they will be happy and maximize their potential.
Our College Counselors build both trusting and supportive relationships with our students while also encouraging them to take the reins of their future.
