For many CGA students, their goal after graduation is to enroll in post-secondary studies at a university in different countries around the world.
The academic choices that students make and the activities that they choose to engage with during high school can have a significant impact on their options when it comes to university admissions.
Because of this, at CGA, we seek to provide early guidance to our students on how they can plan their time at the school to increase their chances of being successful in the admissions process to the university programs that they are considering.
We understand that choosing the right path for the future can be both exciting and challenging. We empower our students with the knowledge and guidance they need to make informed decisions and reach their goals. CGA is committed to providing the most up-to-date university and career guidance, so students can compete on the world stage.
We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards of counselling, ensuring that our student-centric approach is committed to the principles of integrity, transparency, and student well-being.
Our counselor works together with our academic staff in order to provide the most tailored individual guidance for our students.
CGA’s robust admissions program is the highlight of our department. We’ve worked with countless students all over the world in order to place them within the best institutions of higher learning.
A diverse and global student body means countless opportunities to engage, cooperate, and explore with fellow students all around the world.
In order to best meet the needs of our students, our University and Careers guidance is delivered in the following ways, maximizing flexibility and allowing students to progress at their own pace while still receiving personalized attention and support.
Individualized, 1 on 1 meetings for our Full Time students form the backbone of our University and Careers program. Direct interaction with students, forming personalized goals and pathways, discussing issues that are most pertinent are always discussed in this setting.
General topics related to university admissions, academic advising, and careers guidance will be delivered live, through interactive webinars.
Students can benefit from the wealth of information contained within our video content library, which provides in depth instruction on various aspects of the university admissions process.
CGA School Counselors are always accessible through Slack groups and the Crimson Community to answer questions.
Regular university advising will be given throughout the school year during Homeroom on topics such as careers, academic requirements, extracurriculars, testing, and application platforms.
