As a college prep school, Besant Hill School provides students with guidance on their journey toward higher education. We offer support in all aspects of counseling, including:

  • course selection and strength
  • extracurricular activities
  • test preparation
  • the college search
  • college application process
  • on-campus SAT testing

Statistics prove students score higher on the SAT when tested in a familiar environment.  As a certified ETS (Educational Testing Service) testing site, students are able to sit for the SAT in classrooms where they are comfortable.

“I highly recommend putting yourself through a school that can teach you valuable life skills while also giving you the education necessary to get into the college of your dreams and Besant Hill is exactly that.”

Besant Hill School does not view college admission as “a prize to be won.” It is the result of thoughtful research, preparation, and planning. Hence, the college counseling process is an individualized one, the goal of which is the best possible match between each of our unique students and the college or university that best meets his or her needs.

Our students matriculate to a wide range of institutions, from public universities to small art colleges. Approximately 99% of seniors choose to enroll at four-year institutions, while the remaining 1% may opt to defer admission while taking a gap year or enroll in a two-year school with the plan to transfer to a four-year institution.
