College and Career Counselling
College counselling at Woodstock encompasses career development, course selection, and planning for university throughout the Senior School experience. Students have weekly homeroom meetings and receive personal attention in advisor groups and in individual appointments with the college counsellors. The counsellors arrange workshops, college fairs, and visits from universities, preparing students intensively in Grades 11 and 12.
In addition, students are prepared for the college application process and life after Woodstock through the Junior and Senior Seminar courses. Topics covered include research, comparison and ‘fit’, financial aid, and information about higher education admissions around the world.
