College & Career Counseling

We are preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.

TCIS Counselors empower students to take charge of their futures through a four-year approach to university planning. Students learn about the steps they can take to best prepare themselves for life after high school—post-secondary education and a career. Our goal is to help every student find their best personal fit for university. The college guidance counselors serve as students’ personal consultants and will assist them and their families throughout the entire college search and application process.

Individualized Guidance

At TCIS, college guidance is personal and intentional. Starting in Grade 9, counselors meet regularly with each student, guiding them through self-discovery, strengths, and interests. In Grade 10, this work continues as students prepare for IB Diploma course selection. By Grade 11, the focus shifts to exploring universities and planning applications, and in Grade 12, counselors walk closely with students through every step of the application process—school lists, essays, procedures, and submissions. From the first steps of self-discovery to final college acceptances, our counselors provide consistent, individualized support to help students reach their full potential.

Matriculation to Korean University

While most of our students choose to pursue entrance to Western universities (in North America, the UK, Australia, and Europe,) we do have students that go on to top universities in Korea and other locations in Asia. Students interested in going on to Korean universities can contact the Korea Colleges Counselor for additional support with these college applications.
