College Counseling

Students and parents have many questions about the college admission process. That is why Canterbury's college counseling office provides personalized help in selecting those colleges and/or universities that best meet each student's personal, social, academic and financial needs. Preparation begins as soon as a student enters Canterbury. Formalized college counseling starts in the junior year of High School. The basis of the college search is formed by individual meetings with both the student and parents; use of computer software; College Night presentations; an extensive library of college view books, catalogs and applications; May Term classes; and presentations by visiting college admission counselors.

Each year juniors visit a number of colleges in the South, Midwest or East as part of their initial college -selection process. Assistance with financial aid, financial planning, scholarships and summer opportunities for travel and education also are handled through the college counseling office.

Additionally, students can turn to their college counselors to monitor and coordinate PSAT, SAT, ACT, SAT Subject and AP testing. Canterbury provides the optimum environment for successful completion of the college search, an important aspect of school life.
