The College and Career Counselor offers comprehensive college and career services in support of the mission and vision of Cornerstone Christian Schools. This service is designed to assist students in Kindergarten through twelfth grades and their parents/guardians in pursuit of higher education. The underpinning theme of College and Career Counseling is taken from Psalm 139:13-17:
“For you formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb, I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well, My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!”
Student in the Elementary School will be given information at orientation as well as bi-monthly activities with or from the College and Career Counselor. Activities such as work sheets, lunch meetings, and pennant contests name a few. A transition time for our 5th grade students entering into 6th grade is provided with the College and Career Counselor.
The middle school students are given activities based upon the them of ‘I am going to college.’ They are given a workbook to work through during the second semester of their 8th grade year.
High school students receive one-to-one counseling on their plan after high school that is called their Personal College and Career Plan. Choosing a college, scholarships, applications, letters of reference, resumes, essays, orations and interviews are discussed and information is kept on an intra-net site for ALL to view.
God has a call of each of our student’s lives. Cornerstone Christian Schools provides opportunities to begin to pursue that call one student at a time.
