College Planning
During students’ Junior and Senior years, our college counselor guides our families through the college application process.
The goal of our program is to support both students and parents in addressing the college admissions process in a manageable student centered process. Topics covered include (but are not limited to) college admissions testing resources and timelines, creating resumes, college search, essays, organization techniques to manage the application process, Common Application & Apply Texas and requesting letters of recommendation. Each fall college Headwaters hosts recruiters from colleges and universities from around the country and the world with the aim of orienting them to our program as well as meet with our students. Parents are supported throughout the process with private counseling meetings to address specific needs of each family as well as through several group meetings targeting admissions testing, FAFSA, and parents responsibilities in the process.
- Headwaters School is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling and has endorsed the principles contained in the association’s Statement of Principles of Good Practice.
- All Headwaters students and parents should familiarize themselves with the Students’ Rights and Responsibilities in the College Admissions Process as outlined by the National Association for College Admission Counseling that can be found at this link.
