College Counseling Events
It is our goal and desire to come alongside parents and students to facilitate the college planning process. Geneva students have a successful track record of receiving acceptances from multiple colleges and universities, with the majority of seniors attending their first choice college.
Students (and parents) are encouraged to prayerfully consider where God might be leading them after they walk across the graduation stage in May and to continue to trust in the Lord’s leading as they go through the college selection process. The process is also about best fit—meaning that there are several factors, in many cases personal ones, that come into play when helping students determine where they might apply and eventually attend.
Geneva graduates are well prepared for college! Academically, spiritually, and socially, a Geneva education—and all that this community of faith and learning encompasses—prepares graduates to excel.
The following list of events throughout the academic year is created to facilitate Geneva’s college planning process.
