College Counseling
Our college counseling team takes a comprehensive, student-centered approach to the college planning process.
Counselors build strong relationships with students and families, reducing the stress that often accompanies the college application process and eliminating the need for independent advisors.
80 colleges host information sessions at NDA
125+ colleges and universities attend NDA’s two College Fairs each year
NDA hosts Summer College Application Boot Camp for rising Seniors
College counselors work in tandem with our entire school counseling team. The team effort ensures that each girl’s search is grounded in an understanding of which colleges and universities are right for her and where she will flourish based on her personal characteristics, experiences, and future goals.
The result is carefully considered decision-making, with each student finding a school that has an environment in which she will thrive intellectually and socially.
