College Guidance
The College Guidance program at Green Meadow works with each student to help them identify colleges and career paths that best fit their unique talents and interests.
Into the World
A Collaborative Journey
In collaboration with our faculty and college counselor, students embark on a journey of self-discovery as they enter high school. Our rigorous course offerings, athletic teams, travel and wilderness experiences, and diverse extracurricular programs guide students in developing a strong sense of themselves as individuals. Through this comprehensive approach, Green Meadow students graduate as confident, thoughtful, resourceful, and thoroughly prepared young adults.
In 11th and 12th grades, our college guidance program intensifies with frequent individual meetings between students and the college counselor. Highlights include personalized SAT/ACT guidance, workshops on affording college, and campus visits from college admissions representatives, offering our students direct connections with a wide range of institutions. Open and honest communication among counselor, students, and parents/guardians remains essential throughout this process. We are honored to partner with families during this formative time as our students take this important next step into the world.
