Advising Quick Links

Carolina Christian School offers assistance and regular guidance to all middle school and high school students.  The advisor seeks to provide an appropriate balance of new challenge and necessary support to promote our student growth in the areas of ACADEMIC PREPAREDNESS, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, AND CHRISTIAN FAITH. 

​

The student/advisor working relationship begins as early as Grade 6 with classroom advising lessons presented in manageable monthly sessions with follow up activities to reinforce each training topic.  Regular interaction with middle school students increases the likelihood for a successful transition to high school, and readiness to do high-level, college preparatory work. 

​

Once CCS students enter high school, they receive regular guidance from the Office of College & Career Advising through a combination of grade level meetings/workshops and lengthy, individual meetings. The college advising program at Carolina Christian School is an important, individualized process that starts at the beginning of Grade 9 and continues through the end of the Senior year.  It is essential for both students and parents to partner with the advising office as the journey to navigate the competitive and complicated college search begins.  High school students and families are given the tools, timelines, and specific instructions to research, prepare, visit, evaluate, and apply to colleges and universities across the country.  Focus from the Office of College & Career Advising is directed at helping students find the college or university that BEST FITS them.  Recognizing each student’s uniqueness and gifting is essential to being able to discern strengths and weaknesses.  It also helps reveal areas for investigation to which God may be calling them.
