[for students]
As Director of College Counseling at Boston Trinity Academy, it is my hope to provide as much information on post secondary school opportunities which will enable you to make well informed decisions about your future educational plans. The mission of the College Counseling Office at Boston Trinity Academy is to provide a resource for students to identify and apply for admission to colleges and universities that best fit their interests and needs. The expectation is that through self-evaluation and extensive research, students will be able to reach thoughtful and appropriate decisions regarding their future education. While some of you may have your college road already mapped out, there may be others that have not even started the process. Either way, there is helpful information here for students in all situations. The other goal of the College Counseling Office is to promote an atmosphere where you feel supported and secure in making a well informed decision regarding your future. In doing so, I am committed to maintaining a focus on Christian principles and trusting in God to place you in the environment that He would have you to be in.
