Planning for College

Planning for College

Students at Salesian College Preparatory are counseled to enroll in the appropriate courses required for college admission in various subject areas, starting in the 9th grade.

As a leading college preparatory school in California, our Guidance Counselors meet several times a year with each student to review grades, course schedules, career areas of interest, possible college choices, and standardized test scores. Based on the review of test scores, grades, and college plans, students are advised about selecting Honors or Advanced Placement courses. Guidance Counselors also review various college systems and requirements and utilize this opportunity to remind students about the importance of individual meetings about options within the college admissions process.

Additionally, the Guidance Department schedules several parent/student College Nights to review the college admissions process, as well as the financial aid application (FAFSA) for senior students/parents. Our Guidance Counselors conduct a college application workshop and provide college essay preparation support for all seniors.  Most importantly, our college guidance counselors respect the worth and dignity of each student. They encourage each young scholar to strive to reach their potential. The Guidance Counselors work cooperatively with students and their parents to support academic and emotional growth.

Contact the Director of Guidance, Jack Stevens, if you have any questions.
