College Counseling
Meeting Each Student's Needs
Students, are you:
- Passionate about science, writing, math or history?
- An accelerated learner or someone who needs a little help with resources?
- A gifted athlete, singer or instrumentalist?
Whatever your style, we want to help you make the most of The Summit's college-preparatory curriculum. Our College Counseling office can ...
- Help you navigate the complex world of college admissions and financial aid.
- Find appropriate and interesting programs that meet your needs and appeal to your aspirations.
- Put all our experience to work for you and help you find the right fit.
- Support you all four years of your Upper School experience to assure your college search is a timely, and successful process.
Our team works to assist freshmen through seniors in identifying their strengths, aspirations, priorities and goals through a process of self-reflection. Throughout this comprehensive four-year process, the College Counseling office will work alongside students and their families to create a support network while ultimately preparing teenagers for the college search and application process.
But don't just take our word for it. Hear what our alumni have to say.
Dear representatives, if you are looking to schedule a virtual visit please book an 'in-person' visit on Scoir then follow up with an email to wallace_r@summitcds.org. We can change the visit to virtual and add your link if you have one.
