College Advising Handbook

The college search, application process, and decision is an exciting and anxious time for students and families. The Essential Guide to College Planning is a tool designed to help navigate this long process.  

This handbook is intended to be actively used by all Bear Creek students beginning in fall of their junior year. All students are given a copy of the handbook and should read it carefully as they begin their college search in earnest. They should also plan to bring it to all meetings and appointments related to college advising.

The Essential Guide to College Planning is specifically tailored to the unique college advising program at The Bear Creek School. It is intended for use only by students and families who are currently enrolled at Bear Creek.
