College Counseling Program
College Counseling at Trinity Hall
The college application and selection process can be very stressful and confusing for today’s students and families. College counseling at Trinity Hall is designed to support and guide each student in finding the college that is the best fit for her undergraduate years. While there are many exceptional colleges and universities, we focus on identifying the one that best meets the needs and desires of each student, recognizing that the college experience extends beyond academic curriculum and career preparation to also impact a student’s social-emotional development and overall growth.
As a team of experienced and dedicated college counseling professionals, we help each student, along with her parents, navigate the entire college process – from preparation and search through applications and decisions. While individual meetings with counselors formally begin during junior year, the college counseling office offers a wide-range of programming for all grades and works closely with advisors to guide students in their academic and extracurricular endeavors throughout their time at Trinity Hall. Through school-sponsored college trips, college admissions representative visits, information sessions and workshops, standardized test preparation, individual meetings and much more, our comprehensive and customized college counseling program is designed to educate and assist each young woman in discovering the best college for her.
