Secondary School Advising

Students first work with our Director of Secondary School Advising to establish goals and determine what “right fit” means to them. This is a very individualized process for each and every student at IMS. Based on these goals, families work to create a balanced list of secondary schools. With goals and a list set, our students then have access to a series of intensive programs to support their application process:

• Mini-Fairs that bring over 80 secondary schools to campus.
• Q&A Panels with Directors of Admission from top secondary schools. 
• Visits from admissions representatives throughout the year. 
• Interview practice sessions.
• Online SSAT practice course.
• Test taking strategies course.
• General application support from start to finish.

Our graduates are dynamic, confident, and impactful members of their high school communities. And they attend a diverse range of competitive secondary schools, finding success in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in life.
