College Counseling
A Comprehensive Approach
At Sacred Heart Academy Bryn Mawr (SHA), students take control of their college process early on - rather than allowing the college process to take control of them. Through a comprehensive College Counseling program, beginning in Grade 9, students and families learn about the intricacies of the college search, application, and selection processes, and are supported throughout the journey.
In addition to the process, students engage in thoughtful exercises and dialogue to help evaluate their interests and strengths, access their goals, and make wise decisions about their college choices. It is through this journey of discovery and comprehensive program, that students are able to make their best decisions for college and beyond.
Individual student and family meetings with Director of College Counseling are available to support the college process, so that it can be one of discovery and joy.
