Are you making the most of your college counseling resources?

Independent schools have incredible college counselors on staff. School counselors work hard to ensure that students hit all the milestones during the college admissions process. Yet, most schools are not making the best use of their college counseling resources.

What’s a sustainable solution?

Caerus boosts the value of your college counseling staff with school-branded seminar courses for your students. We develop year-long, half-credit courses about topics that include navigating college admissions and financial aid—on behalf of school counseling departments. Our courses meet or exceed most regional accreditation guidelines, and are part of International Baccalaureate programs. Tens of thousands of high school students have taken our courses.

What do CAERUS clients say?

Here’s what independent school clients say about their experience with Caerus:

“We are the only independent school in our market that’s made a sustainable investment in a suite of counseling seminar courses like this. It’s a huge competitive advantage. In fact, we centered this year’s re-enrollment campaign around the courses that Caerus custom-built for us. Our peers have nothing like it.”

– Marketing director, independent school

“The Upper School parents are huge fans. The seminar courses require about a half-hour of homework per week, and give students practical advice about how to address common areas of challenge among teenagers, such as goal-setting, empathy, ethical online behavior, study skills, resilience, time management, and the college admissions process. These courses are fabulous resources to help keep our students on track.”

– Dean of students, independent school

“Our college counselors spend most of their time working with students individually or in small groups on personalized topics. We wanted to find a way to extend the value of our staff, and provide all students with standardized instruction on foundational guidance topics.

Now, our academic program features seminar courses that cover a robust collection of school counseling issues. These courses are the new backbone of our student advising process.”
