At AST, we offer a comprehensive college counseling program that supports students in planning their high school academics, shaping their extracurricular involvement, and gaining early insight into college life. This journey begins in freshman year, when students are introduced to high school expectations, course pathways, and opportunities to explore their interests through both classes and activities.
By the time they apply to college, students are prepared to make informed and meaningful decisions about their future.
The transition to college is an exciting milestone for our students, their families, and our staff. We recognize the importance of thoughtful decision-making and understand how social-emotional development influences the college admission process. Our counselors are committed to providing students with the highest level of support as they prepare for success in college and beyond.
