College Counseling
Lighting the way to higher education.
St. Ursula Academy is not just preparing your daughter for high school; we’re preparing her for a life of purpose.
Every Arrow works with a dedicated college counselor throughout all four years of high school, receiving a personalized and comprehensive college planning experience.
At SUA, the college journey begins freshman year. We support each student as she discovers opportunities, possible career paths, and colleges that align with her strengths, interests, and goals.
Our college counselor collaborates closely with high school counselors, the SUA academic team, students, and families to guide each step of the process, ensuring every Arrow finds the right fit for her.
Four-Year Process
The College Counseling program provides a structured, four-year path that guides students from early college exploration through the application process, school acceptances, and scholarships and financial aid.
Each year builds on the last, allowing every student to follow a personalized path that reflects her interests and goals.
For SUA Families
We believe that a student must take ownership over her college selection process, but her parents' role in the process is important as well. The following are key areas in which parents participate:
- Advice and encouragement
- Financial aid (if applicable)
- Communication with the college counseling team
- College visits

College Counseling Team
Naviance
Arrows use Naviance, a leading digital College, Career, and Life Readiness (CCLR) platform to help students discover strengths, set goals, and plan for college success. Naviance allows our students to:
- Discover themselves: Take assessments, complete online questionnaires, build resumes, and set goals.
- Research colleges: Compare GPAs, standardized test scores, and other statistics to historical data of SUA students who have applied and been admitted. It can also track applications and scholarships and manage timelines and deadlines.
- Explore career options: Research careers, take assessments, and determine academic programs that meet career interests.
College Quest
To help students and families navigate the college decision process, they follow College Quest, a “road map” to navigate the many factors involved in selecting the right university.
Designed to resemble a board game, College Quest exploration sessions move each student closer to her college goals each year. Sessions begin during freshmen year and include both students and families.
