A coeducational day school serving students JK-12

College Counseling

Latin offers a highly personalized approach to college counseling that is focused on getting to know each of our students on an individual basis so we can best support their needs. We have a team of experts with selective college admissions experience who work closely with students and families on all aspects of the college process, including, but not limited to:

  • Building college lists
  • Creating college visit itineraries
  • Brainstorming essay topics
  • Preparing for interviews
  • Filling out financial aid paperwork
  • Reviewing all applications prior to submission

Through these efforts, we help students successfully navigate this important process and find schools that will build upon their individual strengths, interests and achievements.

Highlights of our College Counseling Process

  • Four counselors and an assistant who provide students and families with personalized one-on-one counseling beginning junior year.
  • Programming for each Upper School grade level that helps students and families prepare for and navigate the college planning process.
  • Events and activities for families that include counseling and financial planning meetings, as well as informal coffees and Q&As with the counselors.
  • Hallmark program for junior students called “College Day” that occurs during the spring semester and features activities such as “case studies” or mock admission committees.
