PATHWAY TO HIGHER EDUCATION

Our guidance team takes a personalized approach to prepare students for their university careers by helping them discover their passions and which courses and institutions will be the right fit for them. Our counsellors have decades of experience in both international and domestic university guidance and are part of a dedicated department that prides itself on knowing and supporting each Upper School student through to graduation - and often beyond! Students and their parents develop a relationship with their counsellor, who will mentor, counsel and prepare them for the next step in their academic journey.
