College Counseling

Preparing Students for College, Career, and Calling

At Westminster Academy, college preparation is rooted in the belief that every student is uniquely gifted by God for a purpose. Our goal is not only to guide students through the college admissions process, but also to help them identify their God-given talents and use them to glorify Him in their academic, vocational, and personal lives.

All students in grades 7–12 receive access to Scoir, our college and career planning platform, and benefit from a dedicated team of full-time counselors with over 30 years of combined experience. Each student is assigned a counselor by grade level, ensuring consistent support throughout their high school years.

Beginning in 8th grade, students participate in in-class guidance sessions focused on career exploration, college research, personality assessments, and résumé building. By junior year, students attend college planning seminars and finalize their college list, résumé, and essay.

Our counselors are available for individual advising year-round, helping students pursue college and career goals with clarity, confidence, and a heart to serve God.
