College admissions have become increasingly competitive and selective. Our College Counseling team works with each family to help them make informed, realistic decisions about student life after ODA.

Out-of-Door and Into the World

The Out-of-Door Academy College Counseling program helps our students prepare for what lies beyond our doors. With a dedicated team of three full-time counselors, our College Counseling program was developed to deconstruct and demystify the complex and nuanced process of college admissions. By cultivating a strong relationship with ODA families and staying on the forefront of the latest insights regarding curriculum, testing, college selection, and matriculation, Out-of-Door students are positioned to reach as far as their abilities and aspirations will take them.
