University Guidance is an individualized process designed to fully meet the specific needs of each student.

At the secondary level at our international school, as soon as a student joins our community, the counselling team oversees credential appraisals, scholastic aptitude testing, level placement and course selections. Whilst identifying appropriate secondary programme options for each student, compatible with postsecondary aspirations, the counselling centre offers support services for a wide array of standardised academic and psychometric testing involved in university entrance qualification as well as language proficiency requirements. In terms of higher education support, expert counselling staff provide across-the-board assistance to parents and students throughout the entire process leading to university matriculation.

The broad aim of the counselling office is to provide comprehensive assistance, information and support corresponding to all aspects of secondary and postsecondary orientation, thereby enabling students of all backgrounds and skills to realise their potential at institutions of higher education around the world.
