    College Counselor

    Scope: Great Hearts Academies provides quality support and individualized attention to each student throughout our multi-year preparation for the college application process. Our perspective is that university life offers profound opportunities to students for the continuation of their pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. It provides the time and space for students to greater deepen who they are, both intellectually and morally amongst their leaders and peers. Thus it is of the utmost importance that our college counselors assist students in identifying and attending an appropriate educational environment since the formation they receive at university will be a determining factor in their vocations and roles in society.

    Purpose: College Counselors provide individualized planning and advice to students and their parents. The counselor's aim is to help students identify, apply and eventually attend the school that is the best fit given their interest, family goals and financial circumstances. There is no crisis counseling, and since the curriculum contains no electives, college counselors do not work on course selection and student scheduling.
