<strong>The</strong> goal of <strong>Kiski</strong>’s College Counseling Office is to match a boy with the college or university that best<br />
serves his interests, abilities, and personality.<br />
Beginning as early as freshman year, the college counselors encourage all <strong>Kiski</strong> boys to visit the College<br />
Counseling Office. <strong>The</strong> formal college counseling process begins during the junior year. Mr. Beebe and<br />
Mrs. Spahn meet individually with boys and their families. <strong>The</strong> boys are encouraged to think about<br />
their academic strengths, their personal interests, and their futures. <strong>The</strong> College Counseling Office uses<br />
many different resources to assist boys in their on-going search for appropriate colleges. Juniors and<br />
Seniors have the opportunity to speak with college representatives who visit campus during the<br />
academic year.<br />
<strong>Kiski</strong> boys refine their college lists by researching and visiting campuses, visiting with college<br />
representatives, and meeting regularly with the college counselors. As the students discover their<br />
college choices, Mr. Beebe and Mrs. Spahn assist them in completing the process. Parents should feel<br />
free to contact the College Counseling Office with any questions or concerns. In addition to providing<br />
counsel and support, the Office supervises the standardized test schedules: PSAT, SAT, ACT, AP, and<br />
TOEFL. Many of these tests are offered on campus.<br />
College visits should be scheduled during <strong>Kiski</strong>’s generous breaks. However, seniors are<br />
allowed 3 “college days”. <strong>The</strong>se days may be added to open weekends; they may not be added to<br />
vacations or long weekends. Every “college day” must receive written approval by the Director<br />
of College Counseling and the Dean of Students. Boys not following this procedure may be<br />
liable for academic or behavioral punishments.<br />
