College Counseling
The College Counseling Office at ANS is involved in many activities to serve all students. It focuses on counseling students about the importance of building the best four year record possible to reflect academic and extra-curricular achievement to maximize the potential of each individual. Emphasis is made on student responsibility for learning, expanding self-awareness of academic strengths, interests and aptitudes to prepare for career exploration and college search. From 9th through 11th grade our High School students engage in our College Readiness program which covers stage related topics that allow them to build skills and a strong student profile for future college applications. College Advisory sessions are offered to the 12th graders as the culmination of our College Readiness program. These sessions assist students in finalizing their college applications journey. The Student Services Office also prepares transcripts, communicates with colleges, organizes college visits, sends official supporting documents to Colleges and Universities and provides students with information that might be required in their college application process.

What Universities say about our Tigers
Gustavo is one of the most can-do, positive, kind, and helpful students I know. He volunteered to become an AU Diplomat US Global Nomad student ambassador in his first year at AU, and now as a sophomore he is the interim AU Diplomats coordinator managing 40 other international and US Global Nomad student volunteers and various committees to promote AU’s international diversity and inclusive sense of community. As his direct supervisor, I admire his dedication, support, and how he manages to balance his class work and 2 other jobs with our important volunteer program. He has excellent time management skills which are not often found in an 2nd year student! ANS and you should be very proud of your alumnus, and we’re delighted to have Gustavo at AU!

ABOUT GUSTAVO MORICE – CLASS OF 2021
Nydia del Carmen’s blazing intellect, avid curiosity, courtesy and kindness are a gift to our learning community. I rarely accept first-year students in my lecture class. Out of sixty students, I chose only four. To my great fortune, Nydia is one of them. Nydia is an extraordinarily fine student. I hope I have the privilege of serving as one of Nydia’s mentors throughout her Yale career. Thank you for the opportunity to sing Nydia’s praises. She is a joy.
