College Counseling
Our college counseling program is a sophisticated system that moves beyond box-checking and helps students become the architect of their own application process.
Our Philosophy
At Santa Catalina, we want each of our graduates to go on to achieve great personal and professional success, and that begins with making the best college choice—her "best fit" financially, academically, and personally.
Our college counseling team takes the crazy out of the process.

Senior Advisors
Under the leadership of our Director of College Counseling and through Santa Catalina School’s Journey program, our experienced senior advising team works closely with members of the senior class. Each senior is assigned a senior advisor, who meets with her one-on-one throughout the fall semester to help her stay on top of every step in her college applications.
