COLLEGE LUNCHES
We often have admissions representatives from colleges across the country come speak to students during the Upper School lunch time (12:40 - 1:15 p.m.).  These sessions take place in the Library Lab, the classroom behind the Library and next to the cafeteria.  Students are encouraged to come to as many of these sessions as possible to get an idea of the opportunities available to them.  Parents and homeschool students are also welcome to attend.  If you would like to learn more about a school you do not see represented, please let us know so we can contact their admissions office and request a visit.  Check back here often as we will keep this calendar updated with new visits.

EVENTS

Saturday, September 17        10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.        Christian College Fair at Faith West Academy in Katy
This is a college fair with more than 30 Christian colleges and universities from all over the country represented.  More information about the fair, including directions and a full list of schools attending the fair, can be found at http://nccf.us/view-fair.php?fid=54.  This would be a great opportunity for sophomores and juniors to learn about the options available and for seniors to get face time with admissions counselors at schools to which they plan to apply.  We hope you are able to attend!

Wednesday, October 12        8:30 - 11:30 a.m.                    PSAT testing
All 9th - 11th grade students at Providence take the PSAT.  The PSAT is a Preliminary SAT that helps students prepare for the standardized tests colleges use for admission and scholarship consideration.  Juniors' PSAT scores are used to determine their standing in the National Merit Scholarship competition.  Practice materials for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT are available in the College Advising Office.  More information about the test can be found at http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/about.html.
