Overview

Welcome to the Town School Secondary School Counseling Office. It is from here that we formally begin the process of transition to the next tier in your son’s education. Secondary School counseling is a yearlong procedure that involves meetings, both private and group. In addition, I will confer with you as a family to review your son’s profile and offer suggestions. You may be assured that you will be assisted, informed, organized, and prepared for this arduous yet exciting experience. You may ask, in general or in particular, about the possibilities of choice, about applications, about the process, and about the selection for the boy as well as for the secondary school. Day schools or boarding schools, eastern or western, it’s all about making the right decision for your son. Decision-making and matching a boy with a school that is well suited for him are the inherent components of the secondary school process. I am here to guide you to that anticipated prospect.
