Besant Hill School does not view college admission as “a prize to be won.” It is the result of thoughtful research, preparation, and planning. Hence, the college counseling process is an individualized one, the goal of which is the best possible match between each of our unique students and the college or university that best meets his or her needs.
Our students matriculate to a wide range of institutions, from public universities to small art colleges. Approximately 99% of seniors choose to enroll at four-year institutions, while the remaining 1% may opt to defer admission while taking a gap year or enroll in a two-year school with the plan to transfer to a four-year institution.
