College Preparation The college counseling staff at SSFS is committed to ensuring that every student and family receives the necessary support required to design and implement a successful plan for college or university. We want to enable our students to transition successfully from SSFS into higher education, and to achieve their personal and professional goals. We believe there is a school for every student, and one of our primary tasks is to help them to identify their needs and goals for higher education in order to help make the best possible choice. Where do our graduates go? We prepare our international students for a successful transition to a U.S. university or college if that is their goal. You can find our graduates at top-tier schools like, Brown University, UC-Berkley, Johns Hopkins University, Northeastern University, California State University, and Emory University, to name a few.
