At Stratford Academy, we refer to our Office of College Counseling as Stratford Futures because we help our students soar beyond our institution and find colleges that align with their strengths and goals. We design our curriculum to lead students to their peak potential and thrive at graduation day.

Our Ultimate Goal

At the end of the journey, our goal is for each student to have found the perfect fit for college where they can pursue their dreams and continue to soar!

What You Can Expect from Our Office of College Counseling

  • Our college counselors match students to colleges that will drive them toward success. Then, we help students understand how best to present themselves as college candidates.
  • Counselors support families throughout the college research, selection, and application process.
  • Counselors meet regularly with students and parents to answer questions.
  • Counselors advocate for students and write a positive, thorough, and honest statement about each student on behalf of Stratford.

Partnering With Parents

We encourage parents to allow their child to take charge of the college application process and be honest and realistic when discussing college plans.

Some ways we partner with parents include:
