Junior Family Meetings

Specific, individualized advising is paramount to a successful college search. At Rivers, the college process is personalized for every student through our private family conferences. After reviewing a plethora of information specific to each student including responses to self-evaluations and comments from teachers, counselors meet with families to discuss educational, professional and personal goals. These meetings are the first of many between students and counselors. Parents are invited to meet again with counselors in the spring and beginning of senior year to make final arrangements for the application process. Additionally, parents are encouraged to reach out to counselors throughout the process with questions. We believe strongly in a student-led process with parents and counselors working in tandem as support.
