The College Path

A Four-Year Journey towards launch

Our students have been accepted to top colleges and universities across the United States and internationally, with Pacifica students going on to top graduate programs in law, philosophy, astrophysics, and the arts. It all begins their freshman year of high school.

The four-year college counseling process is an extension of the school-wide mission challenging students to think critically and wisely about their college decision’s and cultivating their interest in learning while encouraging lives of faith, character, and service to the glory of God. The college counseling philosophy centers on the idea that this is not a “one size fits all” process. The conversations will change from student to student, and success will be measured by the appropriateness of college placement and the quality of experience once the students matriculate to their respective schools. That being said, we want to ensure that students are competitive in the college admissions process.

“Pacifica was the best decision my family and I could make for high school. It prepared me to overcome challenges, live a balanced life, and be involved. I was so well prepared for college classrooms and have continued doing what I love in Chicago.”  – Faith, ’19, University of Chicago
