Whatever your student’s college ambition, a Kirby education means better choices and more opportunities. Our one-on-one college counseling starts early and is carefully designed for success:
- An individually architected four-year plan designed in freshman year
- One-on-one mentorship throughout high school
- Parent seminars designed to demystify and smooth the selection and admission process
- Application and essay workshops and coaching
Without the preparation I got at Kirby, my first quarter at college would’ve been overwhelming. But the study skills I learned in high school meant that I was ready from the first lecture to get the most out of my classes and keep up academically.
