Preparing for College

 

graduation

 

At The Woodstock Academy, each student has a College and Career Counselor who supports them from the moment they first walk through our doors, to the moment they walk across the stage and receive their diploma. Counselors work with students to create an individualized academic plan designed to help them set and achieve their educational and career goals.

The vast majority of our students choose to continue their education after high school and, in recent years, they've been accepted to some of the most prestigious American colleges and universities, including:

Harvard University

Yale University

Columbia University

Brown University

Dartmouth College

Pennsylvania State University

Wesleyan University

New York University

Berklee College of Music

Boston University

Boston College

Johns Hopkins University

University of California, Berkeley

University of California, Los Angeles 

Northeastern University

University of North Carolina

West Point (The United States Military Academy)

Here are just a few of the ways The Woodstock Academy prepares students to aim high and achieve their goals:  

Earning College Credit  

The Woodstock Academy partners with The University of Connecticut to provide Early College Experience Courses. These courses, taught by Woodstock Academy faculty, allow students to earn both high school credit and college credit. 

AP Courses 

The Woodstock Academy offers 20 Advanced Placement courses that prepare students to take College Board’s AP tests. Testing is offered on campus. These rigorous courses and test scores are accepted by many colleges and universities.  

College Testing 

Each student has opportunities to take the PSAT and SAT for free during school-wide test days. The Woodstock Academy is also a testing center for additional SATs, as well as ACT, AP, and TOEFL. 

The College Search 

The process of finding the right school can be daunting, but The Woodstock Academy counselors bring their years of experience to help students find the right fit. Hundreds of college representatives regularly visit campus for information sessions and the annual college fair. 

The Application Processes 

College and Career counselors support students through the college application process through individual guidance and group workshops on developing a resume, writing essays, applying for financial aid, completing the Common Application, and more.
