Honors College

College Advising

OBJECTIVES:• To provide the most challenging, enriching, creative,

fulfilling and meaningful four-year program to attract and retain the most intellectually-capable and most highly-motivated Upper School students;

• To foster a community of intellectual curiosity where rigorous thinkers consider the world not only where it is, but in shaping where it should be;

• To promote the highest standards of leadership and civic responsibility in students’ everyday lives;

• To prepare students for global citizenship and acceptance and matriculation into the most prestigious universities and colleges in the world.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:• Seminar Series – Students read works such as The

Falconer by Grant Lichtman to facilitate dialogue about developing the art of questioning and the skills of critical thinking and problem-solving

• Visiting Scholars – Some of the world’s foremost researchers, authors, activists and entrepreneurs are invited to speak at All Saints’ and engage the Honors College students in deliberative dialogue

• Leadership Workshops – All Saints’ invites business and civic leaders to engage students around authentic leadership challenges drawn from their own experiences

• World Affairs Club – The club serves as a forum for students’ deeper exploration of global political, economic and cultural affairs

PHILOSOPHYA hallmark of the All Saints’ experience is the College Advising program. Beginning in the freshman year, each student is well-informed and ready for the challenge of exploring, analyzing and applying to certain colleges and universities. Because each student has different gifts and interests, it is the job of the College Advising team to work one-on-one with that student and his parents to strategically and methodically help them make the best decision for the next steps in their educational journey.
