College List
Students at The Downtown School follow a range of paths after high school, and the college counseling program seeks to provide both students and parents and guardians with a range of information on post-secondary options. We recognize that most students will seek college admission after graduation and strive to assist all students in finding appropriate environments for their next stage of learning. Our philosophy is one of student empowerment and direct student action. To that end, we conference with families together to facilitate open communication between students and parents and guardians.
The Downtown School college counseling maintains collegial relationships with the administrative and admission officers of local and national colleges and universities. The college counselor frequently visits colleges which have major appeal for The Downtown School students to maintain close working association and improve communication about applicants. The Downtown School is a member of the National Association of College Admission Counselors (NACAC) and adheres to their Guide to Ethical Practice in College Admission.
