College Bound Initiatives
Programs
The goal of the College Bound Initiatives department is to lead the college search and application process, inspire Scholars to seek “best fit” colleges, collaborate with independent school counselors, educate and prepare families for the transition to college. While Scholars receive intensive support specifically geared toward preparing them for the college application process beginning in their junior year, Oliver is intentional in creating a college-going culture and building college readiness skills beginning in middle school through high school.
