PFS offers Scholars in grades 9-13 access to individualized college counseling. In 9th & 10th grade, students begin to align their career goals and aspirations with high school course planning. We work with them to ensure that they are not only on track to graduate from high school with college eligibility, but that they are striving towards meaningful and fulfilling careers. In 11th and 12th grade, the counseling process deepens with a one-week college counseling orientation in 11th grade followed in 12th grade by a full summer college counseling class that guides students through the application and financial aid process. We complement this program with field trips to local college campuses each high school summer complete with an overnight stay at a college dorm in 12th grade.
