Tegucigalpa - School Report Question and Answers
What personal or academic counseling resources are available at this school? Is there a dedicated college counselor at the school? Is he/she familiar with universities worldwide?
There is not a dedicated counselor but the Guides (aka teachers) are very well-versed in college and career opportunities. This is the only school we visited that even understood the value of a gap year after high school. My daughter plans to spend a semester in South Korea to learn Korean and the college counselors at the other schools were very dismissive of this idea. Acton completely understood it and has helped her work on essays, scholarship applications, etc. Because of it's Montessori nature, I feel that Acton has a much better grasp on how the real world works than the other schools at post who just want to slot your child into a category that fits their goals of "100% acceptance rates", etc. - Mar 2023
There appeared to be excellent counseling resources. Our student was in middle school so we did not spend much time with the college counselor, only met briefly and she seemed well-informed about global educational opportunities. Our student probably needed academic counseling and we were disappointed this was not recommended. - Mar 2023
