College Guidance
Our Counselors are advisors, not Strategists or Oddsmakers
They guide our students through exercises in self-reflection and self-expression, starting with stage-appropriate conversations in the eighth and ninth grade years. When counselors meet individually with students, they do not launch into conversations about specific colleges, testing, and application techniques. Instead, their goal is to really get to know our students as dynamic individuals. Each counselor works with a range of students; some come with well-defined interests and aspirations, while others are still in the early stages of exploration and development. There is no “right place” to start. Counselors will challenge students with well-defined goals to think outside their comfort zone, and help less-focused students to hone in on their priorities. The joy in counseling at Brookstone is meeting the students where they are, and then helping them to stretch, self-reflect, question, expand, and eventually focus. Ours is a highly individualized and time-intensive process, but the reward is in the results: happy students who have found their college “fit.”
