As the College Counselors of Archmere Academy, we believe that the college search process is one that focuses on the strengths and needs of each individual student. We strive to assist students in their quest to find the environment that will fit their personality and challenge them to be stronger, more productive adults both in the collegiate world and as they pursue their career goals. Simultaneously, we seek to provide a resource for parents as they assist their children in the college search.

 

The College Counseling Department focuses on the strengths of each individual student, making every effort to help students find a challenging collegiate environment that will make them better students as well as match their individual personalities and career goals. We encourage students to get involved in some of the numerous clubs and activities Archmere offers so that they may explore their talents and interests, which further supports the college search process.

The Department also provides a comprehensive resource for parents as they assist their children in the college search. The office meets with students and parents in the junior year in both individual and group conferences, provides a bi-monthly college exploration seminar, and offers access to the leading web-based college advisement system. In the students’ senior year, individual conferences continue, presentations are made by 90+ colleges and the office prepares and sends credentials to all colleges.
