SEGL provides college counseling for all students as they begin the college admissions process. Both group sessions and one-on-one counseling are available each semester, especially in the spring term. College selection, admissions requirements, testing program choices, and essay writing skills are significant elements of this work. Our faculty expertise includes extensive counseling experience at highly competitive preparatory schools, service on college admissions committees, and professional training. These strengths enable students to gain the perspective and confidence they need as they begin to make plans for life after high school.

COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES

SEGL strives to help students find the best undergraduate “fit” for their academic interests, extracurricular passions, and individual personalities.  We are particularly proud of the over 20% of our students who will be the first in their families to attend college.  Our students have received offers of acceptance from:

DC Area College Visits

Students have the opportunity to visit colleges and universities in the Washington, D.C. area while at SEGL. Our school’s work with Georgetown University, The George Washington University, and American University are a starting point for our college visits.  We make use of local university libraries, visit professors, and attend admission sessions in order to expose students to different aspects of the college experience.

Standardized Testing

SEGL supports students who choose to take standardized tests while in Washington, D.C.  Our Academic Dean helps arrange for students to take the PSAT, SAT, ACT, as well as the Advanced Placement tests, at locations near the school. Students interested in taking SAT or ACT exams should register online using their home school’s CEEB code; SEGL will provide updated information about local test center locations. Questions regarding standardized tests should be directed to the Academic Dean.
