College planning begins early at Loyola, with the initial formal program being offered in the first semester of freshman year. From this introductory session to the final college program in the senior year, students are encouraged to approach the process with positivity, balance, and calm; however, they are also inspired to make exceptional academic, extra-curricular, and personal choices throughout their time with us. Ultimately, the goal of the College Counseling program is to engender, from the very first days, a student-centered and aspirational college-bound climate that motivates our young women and men to make the most of their high school years while preparing them for the academic road ahead.
