Did you know? Christchurch prepares graduates to attend a diverse range of colleges and universities, including the most selective in the nation. And our Director of College Counseling, Dido Heath, is with our Seahorses every step of the way as they move through the search and application process. The College Counseling arc spans a student's years from 9th to 12th grades. Ms. Heath holds a variety of grade-appropriate seminars and work sessions to prepare students for each, next step in the process. She makes an appearance at 9th grade Life Skills classes to get our youngest students thinking about the start of the college journey. She then guides them through 10th, 11th, and 12th grades with seminars to prepare and guide them through each phase - identifying their interests, needs, and goals, and then guiding them through every step of the application process including testing, writing essays, researching scholarships, and more. Each fall, Mrs. Heath hosts representatives from colleges and universities so that students can learn what they offer and ask questions. Each spring she takes the juniors to visit two very different college atmospheres in Richmond - VCU and University of Richmond - so that they can get a feel for the excitement and opportunities available at two different types of schools. They then attend the annual Richmond Area Independent School College Fair. In addition, Mrs. Heath travels to a variety of schools to make their admission offices aware of how Christchurch students' unique scholastic experiences prepare them to contribute immediately to their undergraduate communities, distinguishing them from crowded pools of applicants. Recently, Mrs. Heath visited Dickinson, Gettysburg, and McDaniel Colleges, and ... there she is with the the VA Tech HokieBird!
