College Counseling
Fairmont’s academic and college counseling team brings a wealth of experience to our high school students, providing crucial guidance to find the best college fit and enjoy life balance.

Our college counseling staff meets students where they are and takes them where they want to go. They work with students to better understand their specific goals, aspirations, and individual pursuits. Beginning in 9th grade, students meet with their counselor a minimum of 12 times per year. Together, they hone in on goals, develop a 4-year academic plan, choose courses, create a college list, prepare for dynamic interviews, and receive assistance on completing scholarship applications.
The end result: a personalized route to reach the college of your choosing.

Our low student-to-counselor ratio – 76:1 Fairmont VS 760:1 California Average – means students receive exceptional one-on-one support throughout their high school experience, inspiring more confidence and greatly increasing the chances of acceptance to top universities.
