Guiding Our Students to Success

College Guidance

The objective of the Guidance Office is to provide the LOLCS high school student with the knowledge required to begin the college selection process. Course selection, SAT and ACT test preparation, college visits, interviews, parent meetings, and conferences are all a vital part of the process. The objective is to have the student select the college or university which God would have him/her attend.

This seminar discusses career choices, college selection, college majors, testing, financial aid and scholarships, and God’s will for the student’s life.
