College Counseling Institute

The CESA College Counseling Institute seeks to bring together like-minded counselors from high-performing Christian schools to grow together in our ability to provide the very best in college counseling to our school families. Knowing the needs and values of our school families are often quite different that those in non-sectarian independent schools or public schools, this Institute will provide the best content with our larger mission at the center of all we do.
