Starting in 6th grade our Middle and Upper School students have targeted lessons beginning with interest and personal exploration, understanding academic expectations, and The Lang School graduation requirements. Once the foundation is built Guidance and College Counseling moves onto career exploration, the importance of extracurriculars, and resume building.
When students enter 11th and 12th grade they are provided with an overview and then a deep dive of the college admissions system. They receive small group and 1:1 support with their college research and application process. Students do this focused work with the College and Guidance Counselor and their engagement in the college application process provides students the opportunity to practice personal, academic, and executive functioning skills.
