Our Secondary School Counseling program has been thoughtfully designed for our VIIth Form (9th Grade) students. We begin working closely with each family in the Spring Term of the VIth Form (8th Grade) year, aiming to find the best possible fit for each graduate to continue growing in mind, body, and character. Our collaborative approach involves students, families, teachers, and secondary school admission officers to ensure our graduates experience the most rewarding secondary school years possible.
Rumsey offers workshops for students and parents that delve into various aspects of the secondary school admission process. We conduct meetings in large and small groups, as well as individually, to assess the strengths, talents, and needs of each family. Our emphasis lies in personalized advising and guidance.
To maintain a comprehensive understanding of secondary school cultures and expectations, we visit over thirty schools annually, and more than fifty secondary schools from across the country regularly visit our campus. With relationships spanning over 112 years, we take pride in the continued success of our graduates in their secondary school endeavors.
Rumsey students are uniquely prepared for the secondary school search, consistently earning places at the most prestigious secondary schools nationwide.
