It starts on day one. Preparing for college starts the very first day you arrive at the American Hebrew Academy. First, we teach the skills you need to succeed in high school, college, and beyond: how to study independently, how to form and back up your opinions, how to contribute to a community, and how to stay on top of technology.

Our small size makes it possible for your teachers to know you and to help you find the college that's right for you.

It's an individual choice. Closely guided by our college counselor and teachers, you'll choose the colleges that best fit your interests, ambitions, and talents. Maybe they're in the Ivy League, or small liberal arts colleges, or large comprehensive universities.

We work closely with you and your parents to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, and help you make appropriate choices. In the process, we hope you learn more about yourself. The insights you gain help you ask the right questions that, in turn, help you discover the college that fits your goals and aspirations.

You can count on us to guide you through the entire process: standardized testing, college visits, college fairs, teacher recommendations, and application procedures, and the financial aid process. We even have an advanced software program to help you manage the college application process.
