Unlike traditional college counseling programs that begin late in high school, the Journeys Symposium supports students from grades 8 through 12. Developed by GWUOHS counselors and updated annually to reflect current college admissions trends, workforce needs, and best practices for college and career readiness, Journeys provides structured guidance throughout a student’s academic journey.

Why Families Trust GWUOHS for College Preparation

“The time management and study skills my child is learning through GWUOHS will carry her into college years much better and much more seamlessly than the manufactured ‘study skills’ taught in public schools. As a self-directed learner, she has had to refine and strengthen her ability to think for herself, plan, organize, and schedule.” – Colleen, parent of a GWUOHS student

Yes. GWUOHS is an accredited private school, and our graduates are accepted to colleges and universities across the country and world.

College admissions offices evaluate students based on:

  • Academic rigor
  • Coursework
  • GPA
  • Recommendations
  • Extracurricular involvement
