Keefe Center for College Counseling
Forging the Path to Your Next Chapter
At Canterbury, you not only prepare for the academic rigors of college, but you are supported in the college admission process from the moment you set foot on campus.
A Partnership with You
College Counseling at Canterbury is a four-year program, and like everything we do, is a highly individualized experience. Our team of skilled academic and college counselors—together with input from teachers, coaches, and advisors—takes a supportive and comprehensive approach with each student, helping them discover passions, hone interests, set realistic goals, and ultimately ensure that their very best shines through in their college applications.
A Four-Year Process
The College Counseling team provided me with tremendous support in formulating my plan of action for college applications. With their help, I achieved my goal of getting into one of my top universities.
