The College and Career Counselling Department at Aiglon College offers advice on personal development, career choice, and university research and applications. A personalised counselling experience within a trusting and supportive environment and help each student reach his or her potential with the appropriate placement after Aiglon.
All Year 12 students meet individually with their College Counsellor to discuss current academic achievement, future career goals and university research and application procedures based on various preferences. After the initial meeting, the College Counsellor suggests a list of universities/colleges for the student to begin researching. Campus visits are highly recommended when possible outside of term time.
Students begin work on drafting their personal essays (US) and/or personal statements, creating a CV, discussing standardised testing, and exploring summer enrichment activities or work/internship experiences. Year 12 students can begin taking the SAT at Aiglon since our campus is a registered College Board test centre. Admissions testing for the UK will be discussed with certain students, as needed, to include TSA, LNAT, BMAT, UKCAT, STEP, HAT and others.
Throughout the school year, we welcome over 80 university representatives from around the world each year to Aiglon’s campus.
All students continue to meet with their college counsellor on an individual basis, conduct university research, finalise their university list, and complete essays/statements and applications. College Counsellors continue to provide personalised guidance to all students, including personal essay/statement revision, application completion, standardised testing strategies (if required), mock interviewing (if required), and general advice on how to prepare for life beyond Aiglon.
