College Bound

Focus of the Pierrepont School College Process

Self-reflection and Self-discovery
We believe that Pierrepont students have the most rewarding experiences and outcomes when they view the college process, not merely as a means to an end, but as an opportunity to ask crucial questions about their own goals and ambitions. This process of introspection and self-realization is essential to prepare students to take advantage of the resources and opportunities awaiting them in college.

The Right School(s)
The focus of the college process at Pierrepont is to help each student find the college(s) where he or she will be best able to thrive. Over ongoing dialogue, we explore questions like…

  • What are the core values and culture of a college, and do they resonate with her?
  • What kind of social and academic environments will allow him to feel comfortable enough to seize opportunities and take appropriate risks?
  • What kinds of challenges will inspire her to grow as a person, scholar, and citizen?

Fairness and Equity
We aim to ensure fairness and equity in providing college support to every student. We believe that it is essential to recognize that our students possess unique personalities, values, and experiences, all of which will uniquely influence their college process.
