How We Ensure College Readiness for Your Daughter
Making the leap from middle school to high school – and eventually college – is not daunting with the proper educational support. Take a closer look at how we help students strike a healthy balance of academics and personal development during these critical high school years.
1. Comprehensive Academic Curriculum
At St. Agnes, academic excellence is the foundation for preparing students for college. Our curriculum exceeds expectations, offering challenging coursework tailored to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
Spanning over 26 credits, the curriculum includes core subjects like theology, English, mathematics, natural sciences, history, and world languages, alongside electives that allow students to explore personal interests.
Courses are continually evaluated and refined to keep up with modern educational demands, ensuring relevancy and depth. From immersion in STEM fields to creative programs in fine arts, students emerge from high school as capable, well-rounded individuals – ready to excel in their higher education journeys.
2. Personalized College Counseling
Navigating the path toward a college destination is full of decisions for each student:
- Where should I apply for college?
- Do I want to stay close to home or explore colleges outside of Texas?
- What do I need to gather for each college application?
- What are the financial considerations of in-state vs. out-of-state tuition?
- How might the availability of grants and scholarships factor into the college decision?
At St. Agnes Academy, we make college prep an empowering experience through our College Counseling department. During junior year, each student can work with a counselor to guide them through the college application process – from choosing classes to creating a standout application.
Our college counseling team brings over 80 years of collective experience to the table. We offer one-on-one advising, family presentations, and workshops designed to help students explore their unique interests, values, and strengths.
The result for your daughter is an individualized and thoughtful college admission plan that positions her for long-term success.
