College Counseling
Windward’s College Counseling program is designed to nurture and guide students and their families step-by-step through the complexities of the college process.
Our Deans of College Counseling steer students toward discovering college environments and learning communities best suited for their individual talents and goals. Our goal is to create a culture focused not on a school’s selectivity, but rather upon how each institution meets the individual needs of our graduates.
We encourage students to take ownership of the college search and application process; this includes conducting research by reading college guidebooks, exploring websites, visiting college campuses, and attending college information sessions both on the Windward campus and in the Los Angeles area. While finding the appropriate college match for each student is our goal, we hope to build skills that will serve our students beyond their college years.
College Counseling - A Four Year Journey
Windward collaborates with families to help students understand the ways that college admissions should support student goals and interests. Our program helps students reflect and build a college plan with confidence and clarity.
Too often the message in college admissions seems to be that where a student matriculates is more important than other factors in a teenager’s life. The pressure and publicity surrounding college applications can make families lose sight of what is essential: maintaining a sense of balance and appreciating and enjoying the entire high school experience.
We aim to show students that college is a match to be made and not a prize to be won.
