College Counseling

Our PCC program is designed to support our juniors as they prepare to start the college application process. This program is meant to be a hybrid of 1:1 tutoring and college counseling, meaning part of the class will focus on academics including support for AP classes and other school subjects. Beyond academic support, PCC is also meant to introduce students to the college application process, including help preparing for the following: Researching colleges & creating a college list Crafting your activities/honors list Creating a resume Drafting brag lists/prep for letters of recommendation Applying for internships Starting the personal statement and supplemental essays.
