The Guidance Program at Wilson Hall is involved in the school's total curriculum. The program seeks to assist our students in all phases of self-understanding and in the development of individual potential.

DEAN OF ACADEMICS
Each student's academic progress at Wilson Hall is closely monitored. The dean oversees this process in the Upper School. Programs that are available to students and parents to encourage academic success at Wilson Hall are:

• Peer Tutors
  This program is offered to students who need assistance in a specific academic subject area. A student is paired with another student, who helps them with various study skills and test-taking strategies concerning the subject area. All students are eligible for this program which is free of charge.

• Parent and Teacher Conferences
  The Academic Dean will set up meetings for parents and/or teachers upon request. The conferences are a tool for parents to communicate with their student's teachers in a direct manner as well as a means for the teacher to express his or her concerns about the student's classroom progress.

• Academic Help for Students
  Upper School Teachers are available until 2:45 PM Monday through Thursday to give students extra help; however, it is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements in advance with the teacher.

• Academic Progress Reports
  

  • The Academic Progress Report provides academic information to parents on a quarterly basis.
  • Interim Updates are issued by teachers throughout the year in order to help keep parents abreast of student achievement.

COLLEGE COUNSELOR
The goal of the college counseling process is to seek the best possible match between a student's abilities and needs and the college's or university's offerings and standards.

The College Counselor works very closely with students throughout the junior and senior year at Wilson Hall. All seniors are required to apply to at least one college or university where they will be accepted. The College Counselor is also involved with the PSAT and SAT/ACT achievement tests. The school provides a review course for all sophomores, juniors, and seniors to aid them in preparing for the PSAT and SAT/ACT. These sessions are held in the fall and spring. The college counselor nominates and assists students with merit, leadership, and need-based scholarship programs. Information concerning scholarship opportunities and financial aid deadlines is posted and available to all students.
