The College Counseling Office works with students and their families throughout all four years of Cristo Rey. Many of our students are the first in their families to attend college, therefore we coach both parents and students on the college application process and the college experience.
Our counselors work with students to identify colleges that match their interests and strengths, ensuring that every student makes the best choice academically, financially, and socially. Our 20:1 student-to-counselor ratio allows each counselor to work closely with juniors and seniors. College counselors offer guidance on college planning, the college application process, standardized tests, financial aid, scholarships, and summer enrichment programs.
