College Counseling & Wellness 11

Required Course for 11th grade.

During the fall semester, juniors will engage in a wellness speaker series with invited guests to help students connect with their purpose and manage the stress and pressure of the upcoming college process. Additional wellness activities are offered throughout the course, and all students also receive substance use prevention education during a workshop in the spring.

In the spring semester, College Counselors work with the juniors on specific topics including how to research colleges, explore majors and careers, have a productive campus visit, and present professionally to admissions officers. Three sessions are designated for Harkness math strategies in standardized testing. Students will write a peer recommendation and secure letters of recommendation from teachers. Students develop essay ideas and begin work on college applications.
