Ready for the next step

College Counseling

College preparation begins early at Oldfields. We get to know each student and help them develop the skills needed to succeed in high school, college, and beyond. We guide students to develop good study habits, get involved in extra-curricular activities, build leadership skills, and discover their passions.

All students meet regularly with the Director of College Counseling individually and in group seminars. Students explore educational and career interests in our Pathways Program, learn about different types of colleges and universities, and discuss elements of the application process including interviewing, standardized testing, essays, and the various components of applications. Juniors take the PSAT again during this year when it also serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Students develop balanced college lists consisting of appropriate reach, fit/match, and safety schools that represent their academic, social, athletic, religious, and/or financial needs.

During senior year, students meet with their college counselor in one-on-one meetings. Support is available throughout the process, including for financial aid, scholarships, and making a final selection in the spring.

Senior year is an exhilarating time for students and families, but we also know it can be stressful. The college counseling program is designed to assist and support students and their families to have an enjoyable and celebratory college application process.
