Academics

College Counseling

The world of college admissions is ever-changing and increasingly competitive, which is why Hartfield Academy has a dedicated staff focused on equipping you and your student with the knowledge and tools needed to be successful in middle school, high school, and beyond.
Starting in 6th grade, our academic counselors are available to students who may need support in their core subjects. They are also available to recommend tutorial resources and emotional counseling services to students and families who may need that assistance.

Our counseling staff will know your child by name and take time to understand their abilities, talents, and hopes for the future. This is increasingly important when it comes time to considering colleges that will be a best fit for your child’s goal and passions.

When it comes to planning for college, our counselors are available and hands-on in helping you sign up for the ACT, visit with college representatives, prepare for interviews, apply for scholarships, and understand the college application process.

As a school, we are dedicated to helping your child pursue their God-given purpose and reach their spiritual, emotional, educational, and career goals.

  • College Fair

    Every September, Hartfield Academy hosts a College Fair and all Upper School students and parents are invited and encouraged to attend. With over 50 schools in attendance last year, from all over the United States, our students have the opportunity to meet and interface with college representatives at school they may have never considered!
  • Graduation Planning

    Our counselors play a large role in helping every student plan and prepare for their future. We are committed to helping students become who God has made them to be, which means our counselors spend considerable time with our students helping them with course selection and a personalized schedule.
  • Scholarship Resources

    Knowing how and when to apply for scholarships is important to Juniors and Seniors making college plans. Our counselors will help students stay informed on the scholarships available and help guide them through their submissions, so that they are equipped with the scholarship resources they need.
