Life After St. Matthew's

Students at St. Matthew’s develop confidence and character that carry far beyond our campus. The majority of our students matriculate to highly selective high schools, both regionally and nationally, and others enroll in local well-respected charter and public high schools. The wide array of high schools is a testament to the diverse make-up and strengths of our student community, and our strong secondary school outplacement program helps each student find the right fit.

Beginning in the spring of 7th Grade, the Outplacement and Counseling Team meets with parents and students to share information about the process and review the timeline. The team conducts summer meetings with each rising 8th Grade family to begin thinking about academic fit for their child and to expand their initial list of potential high schools. Eighth Grade students attend essay writing workshops and mock interview preparation and also have the opportunity to meet with admission directors from a variety of day and boarding schools who visit St. Matthew’s in the fall of the 8th Grade year.
