College Counseling
The College Counseling Office provides a full range of support for students and their parents as they navigate the college search, application process, and transition to college. Our goal is two-fold: to facilitate college selection while maintaining the focus on the needs of the student and their family and to help empower students to take ownership over their college process.
While the world of college admission can be confusing and overwhelming, Saint Stephen’s students benefit from our small student to counselor ratio that allows for personalized attention. Our college counselors spend significant time with individual students and encourage them to explore the characteristics of colleges that will best satisfy their ambitions, talents, and personality while providing an academic environment that will enable success far beyond the gates of Saint Stephen’s. The college counseling staff also expect that students will engage in the process and, consequently, they aim to empower students to make informed choices, be self-advocates, and utilize strong organizational skills throughout the college process.
Saint Stephen’s has a strong record of sending highly prepared students to colleges throughout the country and abroad. A majority of our students attend college with merit scholarships as well, further highlighting the academic and personal strength of Saint Stephen’s graduates.
