College Guidance

The Lake Champlain Waldorf School offers a comprehensive college and career guidance program that is tailored to the developmental needs of our students. From ninth grade we support students in learning about themselves and the world in order to better make the transition after high school. Beginning in the junior year, our college search process is guided by Strategies for College, a private college counseling firm with twenty years of experience. The combination of Waldorf values and professional expertise in college admissions makes for a thoughtfully guided journey. Please contact Alice Lissarrague at alissarrague@lakechamplainwaldorfschool.org for more information.
