The College Counseling Office at Hebron Academy provides highly individualized attention to each of its students throughout the college search and application process. Hebron college counselors know and understand their students thoroughly. They live on campus, serving in a number of capacities, and are able to interact with their advisees on many levels.

Counselors help students identify their particular goals and talents and assist them in selecting an appropriate range of colleges. Formal college counseling begins in the junior year with an introduction to the steps needed to ensure a smooth and well-organized college search. Each junior meets individually with his or her college counselor throughout the winter and spring terms. They also participate in meetings focusing on topics such as:

• Writing the college application essay;
• The college campus visit and interview,
• Standardized testing; and
• Submitting the completed college application.

Students complete a number of exercises that help them think about what is important when selecting a college. After they establish specific criteria, students can use resources in the college counseling office to help them identify appropriate schools. Ultimately, the schools to which a student applies will reflect his or her preferences, parental influence and the college counselor’s suggestions in accordance with the student’s personal, academic, and extracurricular record.
