College Overview Course

As a college preparatory school, CSS is focused on preparing students fully, not just for college academics, but for the rigorous college search process.

The College Overview Course is a required course offered during Term III of the junior year. It is designed to help students prepare for the college admission process by literally turning them into college admission experts. Information regarding every aspect of the college admission process is covered during this class. Students begin the class by initiating their own college searches. Each student is also expected to complete a college application, develop a list of potential colleges, complete an interview simulation, create a resume, write an essay, critically analyze college propaganda, develop a college plan, identify all recommendation writers, prepare for the college entrance exams, request a transcript, and research scholarship possibilities.
