A Clear Path Toward Calling, Career, and College

At ICS, students receive personalized guidance at every grade level on course planning, assessments, enrichment opportunities, and the skills needed to make informed decisions for the future.

9th Grade

Freshmen are introduced to the planning process through tools that help them explore their interests and understand how high school coursework influences their options after graduation. They also begin preparing for standardized testing through PSAT orientation.

10th Grade

Sophomores learn how to explore colleges and training programs, gaining exposure to different pathways. They also receive counseling that connects their current academic opportunities with their long-term goals.

11th Grade

Juniors take significant steps toward college readiness. They refine their college list, begin the application process, meet with college representatives on campus, and build their academic resume with leadership and enrichment activities. Counselors help students interpret PSAT results and plan next steps for testing and applications.

12th Grade

Seniors receive personalized support as they complete applications and prepare for life after graduation. Counselors review essays, offer guidance on scholarship and financial planning, and help students finalize decisions with confidence. Letters of recommendation are written by faculty who know each student well, ensuring a thoughtful and individualized reflection of their strengths.
