College Preparation
For an international group of students considering university studies in various countries, the process of moving on from High School can be a difficult and sometimes bewildering one. Therefore, preparing students to make good choices about their university studies and guiding them through this process are the priorities of the college counseling program.
Although our High School students undergo preparation for university entrance from the first day of their arrival at Marymount through a rigorous program of study and numerous extracurricular opportunities, the college counseling program begins in earnest in Grade 10, and its aim is to make this process, however challenging, an exciting and enjoyable part of our students’ overall education.

At the heart of this process lie a few fundamental concepts:
