Learn More About College Guidance
See how Browning's individualized college guidance program and junior/senior college trip leads students to their best-fit colleges and universities.
Putting the Boys’ Needs First
Browning School’s approach to college counseling puts the boy at the center of the experience. Our small size guarantees that every student gets the individual attention necessary to make his college process successful.
We believe that there is no one perfect school for a boy and our process is designed to uncover institutions at which our students will truly thrive. Starting with their entry into high school, Grade 9 boys and their families begin a relationship with the guidance office so that they can be well prepared for life beyond Browning. The annual college trip for both juniors and seniors provides a unique opportunity to visit a variety of different colleges and universities under the supervision of the Director of College Guidance and other faculty members.
College Trip
Every fall, Browning’s Grade 11 and Grade 12 students visit regional colleges and universities. Students will visit several different public and private institutions exposing them to the breadth and variety of schools available to them. Doing this with their peers and teachers sparks further discussion of what schools may be right for them and guarantees that they will be exposed to more than a dozen schools before they have submitted applications.
Visits in the past five years have included: Bates College, Bowdoin College, Brown University, Colby College, Colgate University, Connecticut College, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Hamilton College, Johns Hopkins University, Middlebury College, University of Rochester, Syracuse University, Union College, University of Vermont, University of Virginia, Williams College and Yale University.
