9th Grade
College counseling begins informally to ensure that students make the most of their time at Sage Hill, in both academics and co-curricular activities. Sage Hill’s Associate Director of 9th and 10th Grade College Counseling offers small group meetings and workshops for students to craft a four-year Academic Plan, and presentations for parents before they formally embark on the college admissions journey. -
10th Grade
Students and their parents meet privately with the Associate Director of 9th and 10th Grade College Counseling to refine their Academic Plan. Grade-specific informational meetings for students and families continue to guide the process. -
11th Grade
Each junior is assigned to a college counselor, who advises students on standardized testing, college visits, summer activities, and other important factors in the process. Each family meets privately with their counselor to begin developing a target list of colleges based on the student’s unique personality, learning style, goals, and other preferences. -
12th Grade
By senior year, our counselors know each student well and write meaningful letters of recommendation that make applications stand out. During the summer before senior year, students attend optional essay and application workshops led by our counselors. In the fall, admission representatives from more than 140 colleges and universities visit Sage Hill and meet with our students in small sessions. Students learn more about the colleges and have the opportunity to get to know the individual who will likely read their applications. When students finalize their application lists, our counselors ensure transcripts, teacher recommendations, and other required elements are submitted to each college in a timely manner. Finally, when admission results are received, our counselors help our students choose the best college fit.
