COUNSELLING

CULTIVATING READINESS FOR GLOBAL HIGHER EDUCATION

The transition from the Ordinary Level (O-Level) to the A-Level syllabus is quite challenging, added to that is the pressure to make the right academic choices, maintain a strong academic performance and produce a well-rounded university application profile – a process which can be extremely overwhelming. Hence at Cedar, one of the primary areas of focus is to prepare students for this transitory phase with the help of College Counselling teams.

The teams guide students towards proactive approaches for their future to ensure we help them become well-adjusted adults of tomorrow. At Cedar, every student has a counsellor and advisor to assist them throughout the A-Level program.

HOW DO WE
DO IT?

The department guides an in-depth program that supports students throughout the application process. Students take ownership of their application process, becoming empowered to utilize the available tools and resources and make informed decisions.

We are committed to supporting, encouraging, and listening to students as they navigate a process that we understand can generate stress and uncertainty. College counsellors work with students, taking into account their goals and interests.

The one-on-one support helps navigate through college life and tailor the educational journey to align with their goals.

Students can expect
assistance in:

  • University Applications
  • Identifying Universities
  • Essays, interviews & scholarship applications
  • Regular check-in meetings to assist with development & support

OUTREACH

The purpose of university outreach for a school is to increase student interest in university and to provide them with the necessary information and support to make informed decisions about their education. Outreach activities aim to:

Spark an interest

Build confidence

Overall, university outreach for schools is a vital component of the educational process, aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of higher education and preparing them for their future academic and career paths.
