College Counseling

At Deerfield-Windsor School, college counseling is a personalized journey designed to help every student discover the college that is the best fit for their goals, interests and aspirations. Our individualized approach partners closely with families, empowering students to make informed and confident decisions throughout the college search and application process.

To support students and parents, we provide a comprehensive College Counseling Guidebook filled with resources, planning tools, admissions information, financial aid guidance and timelines to help families navigate each step of the college process.

Our college counseling program begins in sixth grade and continues through senior year, with age-appropriate guidance that becomes increasingly individualized as students prepare for college. Along the way, students learn the importance of building a strong academic foundation while pursuing meaningful experiences that reflect their interests, talents and character.

Beginning in the Upper School, students benefit from:

• Individual college counseling sessions

• Monthly grade-level meetings

• College representative visits

• SAT and ACT planning and guidance

• Application and essay support

• Interview preparation

• Scholarship and financial aid assistance

At Deerfield-Windsor, we recognize that every student's path is unique. We take the time to understand each student's strengths, goals and passions, helping them identify colleges where they will thrive academically, grow personally and make a meaningful impact. Our commitment is to guide every student with confidence toward a successful future beyond Deerfield-Windsor.
