College Counseling

Tera Sweeting, Upper School College Counselor

Sagemont Prep's College Counseling Department has the pleasure of working with all students gearing up for college planning and exploring entrepreneurship in various ways. Each student has the opportunity to take a deep dive into a multitude of resources to explore, as it pertains to being a successful entrepreneur, engineer, counselor etc. and how to prepare themselves effectively for the future.

There is something so special about planning for the future, whether it's researching colleges, scheduling classes, exploring internship opportunities, or planning one's summer. Summer learning is an often overlooked time for future planning, but it is critical, especially for our older students. One of the most accessible ways to tap into the wide range of opportunities is by working with me, your college counselor. Summer programs are available in every area of study, from the arts and sciences to languages and athletics. They may be offered at colleges, museums, performing arts centers, and recreation centers.

You can find residential programs where you live, housing with other students, and classes you can commute to There are many ways to participate in a summer program

Many students choose to take part in special summer learning programs to:

Participating in a summer program is also a strong addition to your college application. Summer programs showcase your commitment to furthering your education and experience. In addition, summer programs are a key component of networking, interpersonal relations, and the exploration of different students and cultures.
