College Counseling

”To thine own self be true…”

In keeping with our school’s mission and vision, the College Counseling Program at The Independent School guides students and families through the college admissions process, seeking to identify “Best Fit” colleges and universities that are appropriate to student interests and demonstrated abilities. We successfully accomplish this through an ongoing and supportive process that addresses the needs of every individual student. Our approach is student-centered, ensuring that students are given the proper guidance to achieve their academic, co-curricular, social and career goals. We empower students to become fully engaged, owning the process, outcomes and decisions. We believe that the key to student success is open and continued dialogue among students, parents and the College Counseling Office.
