College Counseling
For Forest Ridge graduates, college is the next step in a life filled with many new chapters.
As a college preparatory school, the entire Forest Ridge community works together to provide our students with the guidance and support they need to find success in college and beyond.
Our exceptional Director of College Counseling provides every Forest Ridge student the highly individualized coaching that larger independent schools cannot offer.
100% of Forest Ridge students are admitted to four-year colleges and universities. Our college acceptance snapshot reveals the diversity of schools our alumnae attend across the country and around the world.
