College Counseling
Midland often transforms the lives of young people and, in doing so, prepares them for college, where they will have a transformational experience of a different nature. Ideally, the college search process aligns with this process, in that it forces students to examine themselves and to identify what they want from life and from their education. If students can truly understand who they are and what they want, then finding the right college becomes almost easy. To facilitate this transformation, the college counselor, parents, admissions representatives, and Midland faculty must require students to take ownership of the process.
Ultimately, students are responsible for their own education. The process of applying to college tests their readiness to take on this responsibility, while Midland’s college counselor provides skillful support for this individualized journey. A Midland education provides students with a strong foundation – as learners and resourceful citizens – to get a good education anywhere. Midland’s college counseling process matches our graduates with colleges, universities, and gap year programs well-suited to each student’s individual interests, plans, talents, skill sets, and needs.
The goal of Midland’s college counseling office is to provide the tools, resources, and support that will enable students to navigate this milestone, each step of the way.
