With nearly 3,000 colleges to choose from with a 4-year degree in the United States and over 22,000 universities worldwide, the process of selecting a college, let alone a degree of study, can be an overwhelming process.  In an effort to support a college going culture  Ms. Washington, our Director of College Counseling at East-West, for the third year in a row organized a day trip for all our high school students to visit and explore their college options.

  All East-West high school students had the opportunity to visit various colleges in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. This was a wonderful day when students were able to view college campuses, network with college admissions counselors, learn about the various components of the admissions process, and learn more about what it means to be college ready. As we prepare your child for college (and beyond) we realize that it is important for them to have a clear academic path; this day provides that as they have the opportunity to learn about what colleges are looking for so that they can tailor their academic courses accordingly. For example, this might mean that your child might decide to enroll in a College Now or AP course or maybe take advantage of our Kaplan led SAT prep class while enrolled at East-West. Overall the day was a huge success, as East-West students visited a total of 10 different schools and were able to share a variety of wonderful experiences. Stay tuned for more photos from their trip.
