College Counseling
Preparing Students for a World of Opportunities
ISB's college counseling program is a deeply personalized approach that recognizes each student as an individual with unique talents, aspirations, and paths to success.
We partner with students in a thoughtful process of self-discovery, helping them identify their strengths, passions, and goals in order to find the universities where they will thrive both academically and personally.
Our experienced counselors work closely with students and families, providing guidance that is both strategic and supportive from the first stages of exploration to the final decision. We emphasize the importance of “best fit”—helping students consider a wide range of factors including academic programs, campus culture, learning environment, and long-term opportunities—to ensure that each choice aligns with the student’s values and vision for the future.
While our goal is always to find the right fit for every student, we are also proud of our strong record of placements at top colleges and universities around the world. Our students have been admitted to an array of highly selective institutions, a testament to their hard work and the strength of our holistic, student-focused approach.
At ISB, college counseling is not just about getting in. It's about finding a place where students will continue to grow, contribute, and succeed.
