GREAT RESOURCES FOR COLLEGE PLANNING

 

The Academic Advising office fosters student commitment to wise and faithful life and career choices. We cultivate life and career preparation in the students’ academic, personal, and career development throughout their Upper School years. The academic advisor is available to consult with parents, teachers, and students in regards to student concerns and academic progress. The supervision and administration of course selection, student academic records, standardized testing, and college planning is generated from the Academic Advising office.

 

For more information on academic advising please contact Miss Maria Vivirito at the Upper School, 412-741-2825.
