The position reports to the Director of Admissions Counseling. Because we work mostly with high school students and their parents, we tend to work in the later afternoons, evenings, and weekends. There is some flexibility in the schedule, as long as it is coordinated with families and the team. The position will evolve over time as the ideal candidate will take our current practices and expand and enhance them.
Families may sign up to do hourly work with a counselor or may sign up for our comprehensive program, which does not count hours. A typical student starts work with a counselor in the early Junior year. A part-time counselor must commit to working with at least 5 "comprehensive" (or hourly equivalent) students in each graduating class.
