A great college counseling team helps Northwest School juniors, seniors, and their families make the best choices about where to apply, how to present themselves, and where to attend once they've been accepted. Finding the right schools among nearly 3,700 colleges and universities in the U.S. and abroad is an art. Our team of experts guides each student through this complex process with reassuring good humor. Demystifying the process begins early in the junior year. Our counselors draw on personal relationships with college admissions officers across the country to advise students and parents about standardized tests, applications, teacher recommendations, essays, scholarships, and campus visits. Alumni return to NWS each year to share their experiences with seniors. Graduates report that thanks to their Northwest School education, they meet the college challenges of greater independence, critical thinking, effective writing, and relating to people from around the world with confidence and success. < Home
