Guiding Students & Families Toward a Confident College Journey

Preparing for college can feel overwhelming, but at St. Michael’s, students don’t have to do it alone. Our college readiness program helps students build a strong academic foundation, understand the college admissions landscape, and make informed decisions about their futures.

Our college counseling program supports students and families every step of the way, from choosing courses to submitting applications, applying for financial aid, and exploring scholarship opportunities.

A Comprehensive, Student-Centered Approach

College planning at St. Michael’s begins early and evolves as students grow:

• Individual Planning Meetings
  Students can meet one-on-one with our college counselor to create a personalized academic and college readiness plan. This ensures they stay on track with coursework, testing, and application timelines.
  
• Course Selection & Academic Guidance
   We help students choose classes that align with college admissions criteria and their academic interests.
  
• College Research & Application Support
   From building college lists to crafting personal statements and submitting applications, we guide students through each phase of the college admissions process.
  
  

Connections That Make a Difference

• On-Campus College Visits
   Each year, we host admissions representatives from colleges and universities across the country, giving students the chance to ask questions, explore options, and build early connections.
  
• Athletics & Specialized Programs
   We assist student-athletes and students pursuing fine arts or other specialized programs in understanding recruitment and portfolio requirements.
  
  

Supporting Parents, Too

We believe families play a vital role in the college journey. Throughout the year, we provide:

• Information nights
  
• Guidance on the financial aid process and scholarship opportunities
  
• Support with application timelines and documentation
  
  

Proven Results

Our graduates go on to attend a wide variety of colleges and universities across the country, and many receive substantial financial aid or merit scholarships.
