College Counseling

Concordia provides a comprehensive high school counseling program addressing the academic, personal, social-emotional, and college/career needs of all students while incorporating International School Counselor Association model and standards. Our comprehensive program uses the following delivery methods: grade-level workshops, cohort seminars, small-group meetings, family meetings, and individual student meetings.

The college counseling program at Concordia provides a personalized, student-centered, 4-year program that informs and supports both students and parents throughout the process of career exploration and college preparation.

 

As counselors, we believe in supporting students to find colleges or universities that best match their abilities, interests, and ambitions. This requires consideration of a wide range of factors, such as the location, academics and the culture of potential schools.

An Overview of College Counseling at Concordia

Concordia college counseling is a four-year program that comprehensively guides parents and students to be prepared for college life, the college search process, completing applications, and ultimately selecting the best-fit college/university. The degree of guidance increases and becomes more specialized as students advance through Grades 9 to 12. 

Through the process of discovering their “Best Fit” school, students are equipped to pursue their passions, grow and mature in their education, and achieve their academic and future career goals.

Communication with families is done through group meetings with parents and students at all four grade levels, emails, publications, Counseling Coffees for parents, Parent Connect presentations, evening events for families, and most importantly through individual family meetings.

Road to College: Aaron, USC
Road to College: Aaron, USC

As May ushers in summer, Aaron C. (Class of 2025) and his peers took the stage for one final performance at the High School Pops Concert—a fitting farewell after a decade in Concordia’s music program. This fall, he will begin his next journey at the University of Southern California (USC), home to one of the best music production programs in the U.S.!

I chose the University of Oxford not merely for the name. What I saw was a college that valued education to the highest standard with its tutoring system for undergraduates and the connections that it would award. Being able to collaborate with like-minded peers in fields both similar and drastically different from mine would serve to both bolster my own growth as a student, but also broaden my horizons to fields that I might not have approached otherwise.

Henie, Class of '21-- University of Chicago
I like how UChicago's core curriculum strongly encourages students to branch out from the subjects they typically enjoy and sample niche interests they never thought they'd study (you can take a ventriloquism course for English credit!).  Another thing that struck me was the strong sense of community that seems to tie the student body together—particularly with traditions that are just peculiar enough to be extremely entertaining, such as the U.S.' largest scavenger hunt, a Humans vs. Zombies tag game, and the annual Latke vs. Hamantash debate.
