High School Counseling

Finding your 8th grader their best next step 

A culminating part of the SF Day experience, the high school counseling program is intentional, student-centered, and nurturing. Beginning in 7th grade, families work closely with the Director of High School Counseling to navigate the process of finding the next best-fit school. 

Through dedicated weekly classes for students, multiple individual meetings and high-touch communication, 8th graders and their families actively engage in self-reflection to assess their high school options. With individualized support from the Director of High School Counseling, families are guided through all aspects of the high school admissions process: research, time management, school visits, interviews, and application submission.  

Over the course of their 8th grade year, students apply the skills they’ve developed to expand their perspectives and become their true selves. To that end, the high school counseling program emphasizes the excitement of self-discovery, the pride derived from deep self-awareness, and the joy of completing their final year at SF Day.

SF Day graduates are known to be compassionate, creative problem-solvers, prepared to thrive in an ever-changing world.
