College counseling
The college application process is exciting, hopeful, and of course, stressful. Wildwood's college counselors are available to students and their families to guide and assist them through the maze of college selection and admissions. We have a 32:1 student-to-counselor ratio; one of the lowest ratios among Los Angeles area independent schools.
College counseling begins in Division Three (9th and 10th grades), when counselors first begin to work with students and their families. Senior Institute students (11th and 12th grades) meet with the counselors and advisors regularly to review course work and to plan for future academic and leadership opportunities. In addition, seniors attend Wildwood's College Boot Camp, a three-day seminar where they begin the college application process in earnest, with particular focus on the college essay.
Wildwood students and their parents have access to the web-based interactive college search system NAVIANCE Family Connection, which can be used to access a student's academic profile, research colleges and universities, and manage the application process. To experience Naviance, type in the password "Wildwood" in the Guest Entrance (uppercase and without quotation marks).
We proactively introduce Wildwood's philosophy to colleges and universities in all parts of the country. During the school year, more than 100 colleges visit our campus and meet with students. In addition, seniors have the opportunity to go on school-organized college trips to the East Coast, Northwest, and local schools in the Southern California area.
Wildwood is a member of the College Board, The Western Association for College Admission Counseling, and the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
