College & Guidance Counseling

The High School Journey

At Annapolis Area Christian School, our School and Guidance Counselors partner with students to identify their unique gifts, passions, and goals—helping them create meaningful academic and career plans beyond high school. Through ongoing relationships, our counselors gain a deep understanding of each student’s needs, ensuring every child feels known, supported, and equipped throughout their school experience—not just as college decisions approach.

When it’s time to apply for college, AACS counselors guide students every step of the way—simplifying the college application process by helping them set deadlines, stay organized, and prioritize key tasks for success. Our students are accepted to the schools of their choice and are confident in their abilities to meet their future with the skills needed to succeed.

Juniors take the PSAT again in the fall, which is also used as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. In the spring, parents and students attend a junior meeting to begin charting senior year tasks. Juniors are also encouraged to schedule a time to meet with the guidance department to complete course mapping and begin college mapping.

Juniors may start taking the SAT/ACT tests in the spring. (SATs/ACTs are offered seven times during the year; students are responsible for scheduling their own tests.)

In addition, AACS hosts several strategic events for seniors and their families, such as Senior Parent Breakfast, Senior Kick Off Night, Financial Aid Seminar, and individual college application planning sessions.
