College Counseling
A Christchurch education prepares graduates to attend a diverse range of colleges and universities, including the most selective in the nation.
Christchurch's goal, however, is not merely to see our students accepted to college, it's to see students thrive in college, having chosen a school that fits in many ways their interests, needs, and goals.
Our college counseling process focuses on helping students find the ideal college fit for them, then prepare their application packet. One sign of success in this work is that our graduates typically go on to matriculate at schools where they will be the only Christchurch alumnus. (See our list of recent college destinations.)
A series of college prep seminars helps prepare students for every phase of the application process, including testing, writing essays, researching scholarships, and more.
Each fall, representatives from 40 colleges and universities visit the Christchurch campus, and juniors attend the annual Richmond Area independent Schools College Fair every spring.
Admissions representatives understand how Christchurch's unique scholastic experience prepares its graduates to contribute immediately to their undergraduate communities. This quality distinguishes them in what is often a crowded pool of applicants.
College representatives: To schedule a visit to Christchurch, please contact College Counselor Dido Heath.
