College Counseling
What is the process or timeline with working with the college/career counselor and how does that process work - what grade do they start? Do the kids have to seek her out?
The college and career counseling program at St. A’s spans all four years.
During freshman year, students are guided in looking at graduation requirements and planning their four years to meet them. We also work with student interests to begin learning about potential careers.
As sophomores, discussion focuses on the benefits of postsecondary education, as well as how students’ personal interests and academic strengths impact their options for continuing their education. We continue to explore career options with these things in mind.
The focus of junior year is on laying the groundwork for making decisions about postsecondary plans. We discuss the role of admissions tests, begin to work on personal essays, and create a college list.
Finally, senior year is devoted to completing college applications, financial aid (FAFSA and scholarships), and making decisions about next steps in the students’ education process.
Students interact with the college counselor all four years in class lessons and small group activities. Underclassmen are encouraged to schedule individual meetings with the counselor to ask questions about the college-going process and discuss their postsecondary options. Juniors and seniors are required to attend some individual meetings for guidance and support in the tasks leading to postsecondary education, and to share updates on their progress through the process.
