The college search process is a journey. With the college admissions landscape more competitive than ever, our college counselors are well equipped to guide students and families through the complex process. Our ultimate goal is to help each girl find a college or university where she will thrive. With this in mind, we have developed a girl-centered college counseling curriculum that begins in grade 9 with discovery and builds throughout her four years of Upper School.
