COLLEGE AND CAREER COUNSELING
The Educational Advising Programme at LGS 55 Main aims to guide and support students as they make the transition from school to college and university. The programme is staffed by one senior advisor and an additional two advisors.
We begin to sensitise our students and parents as early as class 9 on possible choices and the consequences of the choices they make for their child’s future goals. Our objective at this stage is to try and keep options open for students for as long as possible. We actively discourage parents to put their child in a ‘silo’ at this very young age by restricting their choice of subjects. Students at age thirteen rarely know what they want to do in life and we feel that our intervention at this stage is vital to secure all possible future career options for our students.
Later, at the A Level stage, the Advising Department becomes more actively engaged with individual students. All students are assigned an advisor who helps them through the entire process and the transitionery stage between A levels and university acceptances.
At this point, we urge our girls to think of this as an extended research project, where our goal is to provide students and parents with the advice and information they need as they journey through this process.
We want our students to think of applying to universities which will foster intellectual stimulation and growth; where they will be encouraged to think for themselves and be able to develop and grow into the role they want to play in the larger world.
To support our vision, we encourage students at O and A levels to study Literature, History, World Affairs and Global Perspectives. This ensures that they become adults with well-developed critical thinking skills, which is necessary for a successful college education and subsequently any profession they chose for their respective futures.
How our girls navigate the college application process is just as vital as where they may end up. Along the way, we are confident that our students will develop and hone skills in organization, communication, and research.

“ Everyone tells you the jump from O to A Levels is a big one, that however difficult you think it’s going to be; you should double it. Despite the warnings though, you don’t quite understand what they mean until you experience it firsthand.
With the growing burden of coursework, plus the seemingly insurmountable task of college applications, to say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. However, the support system 55 Main provided made the entire process much easier.
I knew I could rely on the education advisors for any queries or concerns I had about the application process from choosing the colleges to apply to, to deciding a topic for my essay. With all the uncertainty surrounding my A Level result because of COVID-19, their prompt replies to my panic-riddled emails were a source of great comfort.
55 Main is home. It’s where the people who I feel most comfortable around are, it’s where I can find my way to all my classes blindfolded because I’m that familiar with it, and it’s the place that has helped mould me into who I am.
College may or may not be starting this September because of the pandemic, but I know whenever it does, even though I’ll be nervous going into a new environment, all I need to do is draw on what 55 Main has taught me and I’ll be okay.“

“ Being here since fourth grade, I have had a lot of time at 55 Main, time in which, looking back, only one thing has been permanent: change. Surrounded by teachers and students, who have inspired me with their life experiences, their ideas, and their actions, 55 Main has inspired change. It has prepared us, to be open minded, accepting, and powerful, even if it’s in the smallest of actions. It has inspired me to want to be a driving force for the changes I want to see and has instilled the confidence in me, that without a doubt, I will be able to do it.
This confidence is a result of the encouragement to try new things and the school’s effort to make those opportunities available to us. A focus on academics with a desire for students to be more than their studies is what made it possible for so many of us to be successful in our college application journeys.
Juggling head-girl duties with the academic rigor of the A Levels during college application season was only made manageable through regular visits to the advising office. The advisers’ invaluable advice came with the freedom to shape my application how I wished. How and when to take the SAT, how to begin my college essay, reviewing those many drafts, building a college list, helping build your activities list and even lending emotional support and comfort are all ways in which my advisers helped me.
At 55 Main, our futures are prioritized, and it has been a privilege to be able to experience it. “
