The
College Counseling Office works with students and their families
to guide them through the college search and application process.
College counseling at Hampton Roads Academy begins, in essence,
the moment a family chooses to enroll their child at the Academy.
As a college preparatory school, the curriculum is structured
in order to prepare all students for success at the college
or university they ultimately choose.
This process begins informally in the ninth grade as faculty
advisors work with students in planning appropriate courses.
Advisors also work with students as they learn to balance academics
with a range of extra-curricular activities and athletics. Formal
college counseling begins in January of the junior year when
students and their parents attend the annual College Night program
where families are introduced to the process and the year ahead.
Each junior and his or her parents have an individual meeting
with a college counselor early in the spring semester to create
an initial list of colleges. Over the next year and a half,
students and parents continue to work closely with the college
counseling staff from the first meeting through graduation.
The college counselors serve as resources, guides, and advocates
for students and families as they navigate the process of investigating
colleges and universities, applying to schools, and making the
final decision of where to attend.
