College Planning & Career Guidance

College planning begins in middle school at MCA as students are introduced to planning tools and personal assessments, students plan their high school four-year course plan upon entering Upper School. The academic counseling staff work with MCA high school students for individualized, grade appropriate preparation for college.

Grade-level meetings are held throughout each year to discuss relevant topics for grades 8 to 11. Family meetings are held each spring for rising 12th graders to give them a college application game plan for the summer before their senior year. In addition, individual meetings with students and families take place throughout the year.

Our juniors benefit from the College Application Workshop at MCA in the spring to prepare them for their college applications. We use a variety of assessments in the counseling office to guide students toward a career path where they will find satisfaction and success, including the Myers-Briggs assessment, the CliftonStrengthsFinder for students, and other assessments. Assessments may be done in class, in counselor meetings, or at home. Students journey through different stages of exploration, progressing to identifying college majors best suited to their career goals with our expert developed Principles You inside of SCOIR.

We recommend families work with their students as they begin high school to keep the college goals in mind. Grade-appropriate college planning checklists may be helpful tools to aid your planning. The academic counseling office provides resources from college admissions for students to utilize in their research to find a best-fit college.

Our doors are open to students and parents to drop in or schedule an appointment. The MCA College Advising Department partners with national and local test prep companies to offer options for student success in a variety of price ranges - some at no cost.
