High School Search and Selection

The High School Search and Selection process offers CCCS 7th and 8th grade students a one-on-one session to conduct a needs-based, educational analysis, of each individual student, for purposes of high school selection, recruitment and placement.

In addition to students' one-on-one review with our certified HSSS Counselor, group sessions are also offered to present and explain high school options. This program offers high school information sessions, where over 15 area high schools come in annually, giving the students an opportunity to meet with Admission Directors on a more personal basis. 

Through the program, students participate in high school visitations days, where they visit their individual high schools of interest.

This program offers assistance with printing and filling out applications, student essays, entrance exam information, letters of recommendation and interview preparation groups. In addition to the student assistance, High School Search and Selection also offers parent and student family guidance and financial aid information to assist a family with choosing the best school for their situation.

Over the past years, our graduates have gone on to attend high-quality secondary schools such as Cardinal O'Hara, Westtown School, Malvern Preparatory, World Communication Charter, Archmere Academy, West Catholic High School, Wilmington Friends, Tatnall School, St. Marks High School, St. Joe's Prep, Charter High School for Architecture and Design, Girls High of Philadelphia, Concord Christian Academy, Delaware County Christian School, Milton Hershey School, Neumann & Goretti High School, Episcopal Academy and Ursuline Academy.
