Counseling Service

In addition to our mock entrance exams and crash courses, Kent Prep also offers counseling services for both students and parents. We encourage parental involvement because we think it is crucial to each child’s educational development. It is also imperative that parents are familiar with the secondary and higher education systems in the United States as well as Kent’s curriculum and expectations.
The following counseling services are offered at Kent Prep:

College Application (12th Grade)

Many students find that the most difficult part of applying to college is tackling the application itself. Our counseling services guide students through each step of the application process, including filling out applications forms, proofreading personal essays, composing recommendation letters (upon request), and providing interview protocol.

College Financial Aid / FAFSA Application (12th Grade)

For many students, filing for financial aid is as important as applying for admission. We provide professional financial aid counselors that examine each individual’s circumstances and help parents determine the best possible financial route for their child. This service also helps students and parents fill out financial aid application forms from start to finish. We understand this process can be burdensome. At Kent, we are here to help students and parents go through each process smoothly and successfully.

College Admission Preparation (Grades 9 -11)

This counseling service is for high school students that will be applying to college in the very near future. Our counselors help students choose the right college and prepare for the next few years of their higher educational careers.

Specialized High School and Private High School Preparation
