College Counseling

Each year 100 percent of North Cross School graduates have the opportunity to enroll in a college or university, and most years, all of them do. Over the past six years, our 286 North Cross graduates have been accepted to 359 different colleges in 35 states and DC, and in nine countries on four continents. We recognize that though all of our students are competitive in the college application pool, they are also unique in their interests and aspirations.

​​The experience of choosing a college helps students further develop interests, define talents, and consider their own individual ideas, stances, and values. College Counseling at North Cross School is designed primarily as a resource for students and parents. The underlying assumption is that college counseling at North Cross School empowers students to take control of their own college search and application process and ultimately identify and apply to post-secondary institutions that meet their individual needs and expectations.
