Although the college search process formally begins in the eleventh grade, you and your family have the benefit of access to your college counselors as early as ninth grade. The college counselors at Saint Mary's School offer support to you and your faculty advisor on questions related to academic planning and preparation for college.

They will guide you through the process of identifying and applying to colleges and universities that best fit you based on your academic profile, interests and goals. Although your path and progress are in your control, you will have the support of the College Counseling Office along the way.

Each year, one hundred percent of Saint Mary's seniors are accepted for admission at a wide array of selective colleges and universities. We are heartened by the success SMS girls experience in the college application and selection process. A willingness on the part of students to explore the educational options that exist at the local, regional, national and international levels allows them to leave the SMS community and move forward in their educational pursuits successfully.

Our college counselors encourage and welcome your questions, and look forward to working with you.
