College Counseling:
In the spring, to assist our students in planning for their college careers, we partner with a group of college counselors from our sending schools as well as several college admissions officers.
Standardized Testing:
During the fall semester, PSATs are administered on campus. During the spring semester, AP exams are administered on campus in May, and we typically have students taking U.S. History, AB or BC Calculus, French Language, Spanish Language, English Language or Literature, and Environmental Science.
We encourage students to follow the advice of college counselors at their sending schools when deciding which standardized test(s) to take (PSAT, SAT, ACT, AP). Prep courses for standardized tests are not offered at Maine Coast Semester.
