St. Stephen's offers specialized career and university counseling services that prepare students for the future and aid in their college or university search process. Our international student body applies to multiple education systems and matriculates to universities throughout the world whose admissions requirements vary widely. We work with students to highlight their individuality, unique story and passions, provide strategic guidance throughout the application process, increase college admissions competitiveness, profile development, and help students make informed decisions about their college choices.
Preparing for the next stage of life should be exciting. In order to make this a seamless process, students and families are encouraged to become involved early on so that their academic planning is sound. This involves completing on-line surveys, managing timelines and deadlines for making decisions about universities and careers, researching colleges to understand IB requirements, standardized test scores, Grade Point Average (GPA) and other data from our school from students who have applied and been admitted in the past.

College preparation for freshmen includes a strong academic performance that is based on good study habits and skills. It is important to note that when applying to universities in the United States, a student’s academic performance in the 9th grade is also considered when his or her transcript is being reviewed. In addition to a strong academic performance, students are also greatly encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, service-learning programs, and on-campus career days.
