WELCOME TO RIDGEWOOD PREPARATORY SCHOOL GUIDANCE
In order to promote the development of the total person, Ridgewood offers a comprehensive guidance program under the direction of a full-time guidance counselor. Individual and group academic, personal, and college counseling is available. Age appropriate guidance classes and programs are conducted for all grades.
Each Ridgewood student is also provided on-going college counseling through high school. Ninth and tenth graders begin with college admissions testing preparation. Juniors and their parents receive group guidance on the college admissions process. As seniors, students are individually conferenced and aided in selecting a college, completing applications, writing essays, and applying for financial aid.
High school students, on alternating years, also participate in Career Day and College Night. In addition, Ridgewood allows college representatives to visit throughout the year and expose students to the various available career options.
