College Preparation
College Financial Aid Meeting
Parents are encouraged to attend a financial aid meeting which informs and assists parents and students with the financial aid process.
College Information Night
The Grade 12 guidance counselor arranges for 60 to 70 colleges to attend a college information night here at SCA in September.
College Visits
Grade 12 students are asked to schedule their college visits after school hours. If it is necessary that a student be absent from school for a college appointment, it will be recorded as an absence for a personal reason. Two such absences are allowed during senior year. An absence note is required when the student returns to school.
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program
This program, sponsored by the College Board, exposes high school students to college-level material and gives them the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the material by taking a national exam in May. Colleges will grant credit and/or advanced standing to students who successfully demonstrate proficiency in these examinations. SCA offers AP courses in American Government, Biology, English Literature, English Language & Composition, Italian Language, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature and United States History.
