Today a high school's success is measured by that school's ability to place students in selective and highly selective colleges and universities. Competitive high schools invest in teachers, curriculum, facilities, and support programs, but a high school's excellence is judged by the college outcomes of its graduates.
Marr Education International has six years of experience with international high schools to develop their own college counseling programs. By importing best practices in international admission counseling, schools enhance their ability to effectively support students' international aspirations. Marr Education International also supports students and families within the high school setting as a consultant to the school.
In his time as an international admission dean, Marr witnessed the increasing sophistication of top high schools in supporting their students' college applications. 1:1 counseling, strategic college list building, essay support, test prep, and recommendation letter support are required to foster optimal outcomes.
