University counseling begins in Grade 9. The Meltho International School counselors administer general interest surveys and engage students in discussions about their career interests. These discussions lead to more detailed talks about the subjects the students may wish to study at university and the countries in which they want to study. Parents are also involved at this stage. Students are then asked to carry out guided research and discuss their findings with our counselor.
By Grade 11, students begin to become more precise about their university options. At this stage, our university counselor looks into the interests and academic performance of each student, and together with their students, agrees on a range of suitable universities.
At the beginning of Grade 12, Meltho International School students begin to prepare their university applications with the assistance and close guidance of our university counselor and a variety of tools and platforms including the Common App, UCAS, OUAC, and SABIS® UniApp. In many cases, this is an evolving process informed by each student’s academic progress and carefully monitored by the counselor.
Throughout the whole process, Meltho International School students and their parents have ready access to the university counselor and can request an appointment at any time.
