Summary: Each student who comes through Santa Catalina brings her talents, ambitions, and goals. During her time here, she will come to know herself and the kind of future she wants to build. Our comprehensive advisory program, Journey, will guide her in this self-discovery process, and individual college counseling sessions will ensure that she submits the strongest application possible to the schools of her choice. Our college counseling team works closely with each student and her family. Our goal is to help each young woman find the right program that is the best academic, extracurricular, and personal fit for her.
