College admissions go far beyond grades. JPII's dedicated team of college counselors recognizes this, taking the time to understand you as an individual. We delve deeper to discover your passions, strengths, and aspirations. This personalized approach ensures you find a college that fosters not just academic excellence, but also personal growth and a thriving social environment.

Preparation for college success begins the moment you step onto JPII's campus as a freshman. Our counselors meet with you and your parents throughout your high school journey, starting with individual academic conferences. These early interactions equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions about course selection, extracurricular activities, and standardized testing.

JPII empowers you to be an active participant in the college search process. From the very beginning, you're encouraged to take ownership of your future. Our counselors act as your trusted guides, offering expert advice on:

• College Exploration: We help you navigate the vast college landscape, identifying institutions that align with your academic interests, extracurricular passions, and desired campus environment.
• Standardized Testing: Feeling overwhelmed by the ACT and SAT? We provide access to comprehensive preparation resources to ensure you feel confident on test day.
• Crafting a Winning Application: From brainstorming compelling essay topics to meticulously reviewing applications, our counselors offer invaluable guidance throughout the application process.

At JPII, we understand that navigating the college admissions process can be a stressful experience for students and families alike. Our counselors are here to alleviate that stress. We foster open communication with families, ensuring everyone is informed and involved throughout the process.
