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.
OUR
APPROACH
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.
