Our College Counselor, Wendy Sutton, brings 20+ years of experience to the process and is an invaluable resource to our students. She begins working with students in 9th grade to help them understand the expectations of the college application process and begins working more intently with individual families and students as they move towards graduation. Our students and families in Grades 11 and 12 receive one-on-one meetings and counseling sessions to help them develop their list of prospective colleges. They are guided through applications, deadlines, and financial considerations. The Grade 11 Class Trip is a college tour with our College Counselor to help students understand the different types of colleges and universities and the different aspects to consider in evaluating and selecting colleges. Students in Grade 12 meet several times yearly for instruction on the application process, recommendation letters, and essays.

With a strong academic foundation and knowledgeable college counseling, our alumni perform incredibly well in the admissions process and matriculation to the college they choose.  Again and again, we hear from our alumni that they were not only prepared for their university studies but often over-prepared and comparatively better skilled than peers they meet from other college preparatory programs. Nothing makes us more grateful than to know our students are poised to succeed in their studies and careers when they graduate from St. Andrew’s School.
