College Counseling Services Overview
Laurel Springs’ College Counselors play an instrumental role in the college preparation process for our students, and they cultivate lasting relationships with our students as part of their online private school experience. Our credentialed professionals each hold a membership with the National Association of College Admissions Counseling and remain informed on trends in the field.
Additionally, members of our counseling team participate in college information sessions and on-campus visits each year, building relationships with admissions representatives. We are committed to ensuring our students are well-prepared to enter the colleges and universities of their choice and that they have the information and support to identify and attain the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to follow their selected college and career paths.
