Carolina Prep students emerge thoroughly prepared for the demands of a dynamic, competitive world.

Carolina Prep College Preparation

The college search and application process is an integrated part of real-life learning— a major life event and a decision that challenges students to make use of all they’ve learned so far, intellectual, social, and emotional. That’s why college counseling begins in grade 9 at Carolina Prep, progressively preparing students for application and admission to their best-fit colleges and universities—those that fit their academic, social, and financial needs. We’re fortunate at Carolina Prep to have a collaborative team of faculty and staff that work daily to address the needs of the whole child. Below you will find timelines offering a sample of the topics the Carolina Prep college counseling program covers at each grade level.

College Corner, a class for students in grades 9 - 10, offers the opportunity to learn about different topics around college planning and career pathways. Additionally, we host admission professionals from colleges and universities. College admission representatives may schedule a visit on Scoir. 

Seniors are able to meet on campus with the college counselor weekly and are strongly encouraged to schedule additional virtual meetings as needed.
