St. Anselm’s Abbey School works to ensure that all students have the guidance and preparation they need to navigate the complex process of applying to college.
The College Counseling Office promotes the mission of St. Anselm’s Abbey School through its services to the schoolwide community. College placement is considered within the context of the spiritual, intellectual, and personal development and achievement of each boy. Counselors, advisors, teachers, coaches, parents and students are partners in this process. The goal is that each boy will attend a college or university that is appropriate for his continuing development into adult life.
