College Counselling

TISB is widely recognized for its exceptional college placements and the scholarships and aids awarded each year. Every member of the graduating class receives admission offers and goes on to attend prestigious universities across the USA, UK, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Class of 2024 achieved a 100% college placement rate at their chosen universities and secured an impressive 14.4 million US dollars in scholarships and financial aid. The College Counselling department at TISB is a strong team of 7 members who work together to ensure a smooth school-to-university transition.  Each student is assigned to a Counsellor who will oversee their applications from start to finish. 

College Counselling at TISB provides Senior School students and their parents with individualised, bespoke advice and support as they navigate their way through the many global university and career options available to them. Insights and unique information from the student’s academic and co-curricular areas of involvement and success provide a supportive platform for students, parents and College Counsellors to work collaboratively to ensure a strong portfolio of university applications is created. Our focus is on the aspirations, needs and desires of each student. University success is achievable because our students are confident, articulate, well-taught, and enjoy a high reputation for academic achievement. Indeed, their exam results are consistently outstanding year by year.

College Counselling is represented at all Parent Teacher Conferences (PTCs) from Grade 8 upward, and provides a detailed overview of advice, expectations and recommendations of areas of focus for each grade level at the start of each PTC. Parents are welcome to see the College Counsellor representatives at the PTCs and/or to make individual appointments if they require more time for discussion. Age-appropriate workshops and activities are run approximately monthly for Grades 9 and 10, and with greater frequency for Grades 11 and 12.  These are progressive; encouraging self-awareness, confidence and informed decision-making skills.
