College Counseling
With two professional college counselors supported by our Upper School leadership and our Writing Center, Athens Academy provides students with a comprehensive and dedicated community of experienced mentors to help all kinds of learners reach their goals.
Our programming and services are designed to empower each student to successfully navigate the college search and the application process. We welcome Athens Academy families to meet with us to prepare such a plan for college success for students from any grade level.
This journey takes place in students’ seminar meetings, at dedicated college information sessions, and during family grade-level nights.
-
In grades 9 and 10, our seminar program focuses on building the academic, social, and emotional skills required to be a successful student and a valuable member of a community.
-
Juniors receive more detailed instruction beginning with the Junior College Trip in the fall during interim week, and preparation for both students and parents continues with Junior Night in the late fall and Junior Seminar in the spring of 11th grade.
-
Seniors become the focus in the fall of 12th grade with a dedicated information session for senior parents in August and weekly Senior Seminar meetings throughout the fall.
Prospective families with questions about our program should contact Dr. Marty Rogers, dean of college guidance, at mrogers@athensacademy.org or Dr. Randy Reid, college counselor, at rreid@athensacademy.org.
