Graduates

Summary: College counseling at Millbrook is process-oriented, with the emphasis of the program being on the journey of self-discovery on which each student embarks in the junior year. The college process starts with numerous activities designed to aid students in identifying their strengths, weaknesses, interests, and goals, with the ultimate goal being for students to emerge from their experience feeling confident and empowered. This approach, involving thorough self-exploration and careful, open-minded research, produces effective matches for students and most often results in a positive and successful college experience.
