The college counseling process at Lynnhaven seeks to respect and value the individuality of each student through the college selection process. Students are guided to focus their efforts on finding a college, university, or another post-secondary plan that is a good match for them–where they will continue to grow as life-long learners. Students develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their particular aspirations, and they gain the confidence to make decisions that will allow them to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.
Selecting a college is such an important decision, one that is filled with both excitement and often a large dose of uncertainty. With our student-focused approach, we work extensively with each student and their family to ensure that they apply to a selection of programs that best fit their individual talents, goals, and abilities. It is a personal decision, one that is made after careful consideration, discussion, and research.
Lynnhaven School is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) and affirms its Statement of Principles of Good Practice, a code of ethical conduct that articulates the responsibilities of college members, secondary school members, and independent counselors in the admission process.
Although college counseling primarily focuses on students and their families during their 3rd and 4th years, questions that students or their parents may have throughout their time at Lynnhaven are welcome.
