College Counseling

Discover Your Path to College and a Career

Our college counseling program is designed to help with college planning or any other post-graduation pursuits. We empower students with the knowledge and resources necessary to make informed and successful individualized decisions, through advisory classes, group meetings, and one-on-one meetings with juniors and seniors.

How NHA Counselors Help Students Get Ready for College

Getting ready for college can feel a little overwhelming for students and their families, but National Heritage Academies (NHA^®) high school counselors are here to help. They guide students through this big step and support them as they plan for life after high school. They start helping students as early as ninth grade to make sure they are on the right path, whether they want to go to college or a trade school.

Scheduling and Curriculum

Our rigorous, college preparatory curriculum is designed to prepare every student for college. We require our students to complete at least two Advanced Placement courses, submit college applications, and fulfill at least 60 hours of community service before graduation, with two school-wide opportunities to register within each academic year. Our staff is also available to meet with students to plan out academic courses and discuss school curriculum at any time.

College Rep Visits

In order for students to understand the breadth of opportunities available to them, our college counseling team hosts college and university representative visits for juniors and seniors each year. Students should register to attend no later than the Friday prior to the scheduled visit. Sign up forms will be distributed by the college counseling team.

Campus Visits

A critical step in deciding whether a certain college or university is right for your student, is to visit the campus in-person and experience it up close. Juniors and seniors at PVA are given two excused absences each academic year to visit the campuses of their choice. In order to receive the excused absence, please complete the Campus Visit Form and submit it two weeks before the trip.
