The College Counseling program at Wakefield School is a student-centered program that educates students beginning in the eighth grade in the practice of making well-informed choices and decisions that enable students to "seek challenges, make differences, and lead extraordinary lives."
Building relationships with students and their parents over the course of five years, we work closely with students to help shape a fruitful experience and strong profile. We have found that this approach strategically positions each student to gain admission to institutions of higher learning that are commensurate with individual interests and abilities.
While it is our belief that students must take control of the college admission process, the college counselor holds a high level of responsibility in advocating for his students, communicating frequently and effectively with parents, maintaining long-lasting connections and communications with a diverse group of institutions of higher learning, and providing education on the changing patterns and trends in college admission. Wakefield School provides high quality college guidance and counseling services to our students, actively probing and prodding to learn what is unique about our students, and offering suggestions and recommendations based on numerous years of experience in this field.
