Discover your path.
Let's navigate your educational journey together.
The college search is an exciting time of exploration and self-discovery. Through our four-year counseling program, students recognize their strengths, limits, and goals—ultimately choosing paths for themselves that meet their personal criteria and provide a challenging environment for them to flourish beyond MICDS.
Our highly-experienced college counselors stand at the ready as resources to guide students and parents throughout the entire college search process, starting in 9th grade. We invite you to embark on this journey with us to make for a fulfilling college admission process.
