At St. Mary's Academy, the counselors work to implement a comprehensive program that promotes the exploration of college and career goals. Students at SMA are enrolled in courses that meet the CSU/UC requirements. Beginning in freshman year and every year after, students are exposed to a rigorous curriculum that prepares them for college. Our counselors track each student's academic progress, working with each student and family through the college admissions process. The counselors assist with college research, applications, essays, major and career exploration, and financial aid and scholarships from the beginning of their freshman year and throughout their senior year. The counselors provide hands-on and individualized guidance to help the students decide where she will be academically challenged, comfortable, and successful.
