About the Program
Viewpoint School's College Counseling Office is committed to a highly individualized and comprehensive approach to college counseling. This section will help our students and families to navigate the college search and application process. In addition, the links, timelines, calendars, and resources included within these pages provide a better understanding of the overall process and the many ways in which the College Counseling Office stands ready to help.

Some families associate the college search process with unnecessary confusion and anxiety. Viewpoint's college counselors believe it is entirely manageable and exciting! The years that follow high school include a wealth of enriching experiences. Families should think of the college search process in these terms and be enthusiastic about the rewarding years ahead. They should also be comforted knowing that the college counselors are available for guidance and support. Viewpoint's graduates are the best advocates of this experience. We are confident that your family will flourish in your college search.
