The college admissions process has increasingly become a collaborative effort with parents, guardians, spouses, or other family members. You play a critical role in deciding where your student will apply and ultimately enroll. This is a major transition for your student. We are here to make it as smooth as possible.

You are encouraged to explore our site and learn more not only about our admissions process, but about the spirited and tight-knit community your student will become part of and all of the explorative, hands-on opportunities we offer in our mentoring classroom environments and on our welcoming campus.
