A college prep school should understand the college process, and Saint George’s does. Each student and their family receives individualized guidance throughout the process from our college counseling team, beginning with informative meetings on college and financial aid options in Middle School and continuing through the student’s Upper School years.
Your student will learn about schools they might not have considered and compare how their academics and outside activities match up with what colleges are looking for in their applicants. In fact, we’ve built relationships with colleges across the country. Our counseling team knows what different schools offer and can share that with your student or contact admissions counselors with advice about your student’s particular student’s situation.

Family Connection is an online college search service provided by Saint George’s for its students and families. They can take an interest survey, see how they compare with other Saint George’s students that have applied to different schools, keep track of their applications, keep their activity resume current, and link to helpful web sites for scholarships and the inside scoop on their top schools. It is a great tool to help students narrow their search—and for parents and the counselor to monitor their progress—on the way to gaining admission to the right school for them.
Saint George’s ninth graders follow that advice each year with a day-long visit to a private college in Eastern Washington. Sophomores spend three days as a class exploring a variety of schools in Oregon, and juniors can choose from week-long trips to visit California or East Coast colleges and universities. They talk to current students, tour the campuses, get a feel for life at college. And they discover how competitive the admissions process can be for top public and private institutions.
Saint George’s grads attend selective colleges nationwide. Many of our graduates go on to the most selective colleges and universities in the country. The college choices our seniors make bear witness to their diverse interests and talents, and to the preparation and support they receive at Saint George’s.
They attend national research universities such as Stanford, Columbia, Cornell, University of Chicago, and University of Washington; national liberal arts colleges such as Williams, Swathmore, Reed, Middlebury, and Pomona; specialized engineering schools such as MIT and Cal Tech; arts academies such as Northwest College of Art and Savannah College of Art and Design, and other notable schools such as Duke, Georgetown, BYU, Notre Dame and the U.S. Military Academy.
With many of our graduates now earning the IB Diploma, their college search has gone global. Recent graduates have been admitted to Oxford University and the University of York in England, as well as Columbia University’s Sciences Po program in France and New York University’s Shanghai campus.
