COLLEGE COUNSELING

Welcome

College counseling at The Cambridge School starts with the understanding that every student is created in the image of God*. We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, that God has prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (Eph 2:10) We have been made for the good of others and to reflect God’s glory. Our lives are in his gracious and capable hands.

Knowing this changes how we will handle the fear, pressure and anxiety normally associated with the college process since we have confidence that God cares for us and is perfectly leading and guiding our futures.

The Cambridge student’s academic and spiritual preparation leads to a path of life-long flourishing. We view the college years as an extremely formative and important step along that path, yet balance that with knowing college is only one possible step along the path of the totality of a God-honoring life.

College Counseling at The Cambridge School is deeply invested in the flourishing of our graduates in their next educational endeavor. Towards that end, our college counselors:

• Advise each student individually through the college admissions process – researching colleges that best fit their individual needs and aspirations. 

• Advocate for each student by developing relationships, resources, and routines needed in the college admissions process.

• Partner with teachers and parents to prayerfully identify the needs, interests, aptitudes and unique goals of each student, strategizing possibilities, assisting with logistics, and informing along the way.

Our comprehensive program works personally with each ninth-twelfth grade student. To provide college guidance information, we hold large-group meetings with all students and parents as well as family and private appointments at each grade level.
