College Counseling

Morristown Beard’s rigorous academic program, combined with a wide range of extracurricular opportunities, gives students the freedom to explore their interests, develop their talents, and discover what matters most to them. These experiences help students shape their goals and aspirations and, over time, provide a foundation for a thoughtful college search focused on finding the right fit.

Our dynamic College Counseling team is involved in the larger life of the School, allowing counselors to build meaningful relationships with students well before the college process begins. As early as freshman year, counselors engage with students in a variety of ways and help them begin thinking about their interests, strengths, and goals. Beginning junior year, each student is paired with a dedicated college counselor who works closely with them throughout the college process, from researching colleges and planning campus visits to preparing for interviews and completing applications. Counselors also support student-athletes and artists as they navigate recruitment, portfolio development, and audition processes.

The College Counseling Office also hosts programs and workshops throughout the year to help students and families understand the college process, explore their options, and approach each step with greater confidence.
