DISCOVER YOUR PATH WITH CHURCHILL’S GUIDANCE PROGRAM

Welcome to Churchill’s Guidance Program, where the future takes center stage for students and families alike. We are here to help students navigate life after Churchill, crafting post-high school plans that are unique to their individual dreams. 

The guidance team at Churchill works closely with students and families to find schools or programs that perfectly match students’ distinctive academic and personal needs, talents, and preferences. The goal is to help students maximize their potential as learners, guiding them toward opportunities that feel just right. 
 
A Four-Year Journey
Churchill offers a comprehensive four-year guidance program to help students gain a deeper understanding of their learning style and how it shapes their academic future. The college counseling team is an integral part of school life, supporting students not just through the application process, but from the very first days of their 9th grade year. 
 
The team fosters strong and personalized connections with each student, getting to know them on a deeper level, in order to provide individualized support that carries through their entire experience here at Churchill. 
 
The journey toward post-high school opportunities formally begins for students in 11th grade, with weekly transition classes that continue through into 12th-grade. In addition to these classes, students and families participate in a number of different activities, including individual meetings, family consultations, and interactive workshops designed to involve parents and caregivers in their student’s unfolding adventure.
