College Counseling
Ensuring that every student discovers their ideal college match and continues to progress academically, socially and spiritually is the key objective at FBCA College Counseling.
Our emphasis extends beyond simply identifying the right college; we endeavor to support students in discovering their individual strengths and talents as part of their journey. Through the use of interest inventories, personality assessments, and career evaluations, alongside dedicated attention from our college team, we assist each student in navigating the college application process.
The College Counseling Department collaborates with students and parents from ninth to twelfth grade to facilitate the transition from high school to college. We provide information sessions tailored for freshmen and their parents, followed by personalized counseling throughout subsequent years of high school.
