Preparation for College

Welcome to College Counseling at Cascia Hall

Preparation for college is the principal academic goal of the school. The active college search process begins in the freshman year and culminates in college enrollment for 100% of the seniors.

Cascia Hall employs two experienced college counselors who, with the assistance of a seasoned, professional faculty, help students and parents locate appropriate post-high school options.

To assist students in their college search, representatives of approximately 70 colleges visit Cascia Hall each year.
