Student-centered
at all points
College Counseling
The college counseling process at Watkinson is student-centered and student-led. It involves an ongoing series of interviews, discussions, and evaluations; a thorough and realistic assessment of each studentβs goals, achievements, academic records, and extracurricular activities; and a powerful presentation to colleges of everything a student has to offer.
Guided by our Director of College Counseling, Emily Parker, the process seeks to empower each student to find the right match with a school that truly βfits.β
In the last four years, Watkinson graduates have been offered $10 million in merit scholarships.
A parent says...
βWe knew we wanted a student-led college process. We had heard such good things about the process at Watkinson from friends and neighbors who had children there that it really played into our decision to choose the school for our son.β
