College Counseling

Philosophy of College Counseling Department 

Our College Counseling philosophy is rooted in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis - care for the whole person. The college process is viewed as a journey of self-discovery, discernment, and growth, rather than a single destination. We guide each student with compassion, integrity, and respect, honoring their unique gifts and aspirations. Partnership with students and families is central to supporting thoughtful and balanced decision-making. Through reflection, dialogue, and thoughtful planning, students are empowered to make choices that align with their values and future goals. Ultimately, leaving SI more confident in who they are and the contributions they will make to the world.

Each student is assigned a dedicated College Counselor in the spring of their sophomore year.

Athletic Advising: Partnering with Counseling and Athletics, we guide student-athletes and their families through the college recruitment process to find schools that align academically, athletically, and personally. Learn more about Athletic Advising.
