UNIVERSITY & GUIDANCE COUNSELING
KC High has a dedicated University and Guidance Counseling department that assists students with their career guidance and university applications. Our counsellors help learners to recognize and build their strengths, interests and skills to thrive and excel in school and beyond. Learners are guided with individualized college plans through the use of BridgeU, a university and career guidance platform and other resources aimed at connecting students with programs they are passionate about and universities that are best fit for them. Our goal is to ensure our students are future-ready when they graduate. Every student of KC High’s first graduating batch received an IB Diploma with an average score of 35.
The Counseling department at KC High has been awarded a Grade A+ accreditation by the IC3 Institute for demonstrating a commitment to connecting its students with opportunities for success and showing innovation in career exploration and development through robust best practices. The Accreditation was awarded based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the school’s counselling practices measured using seven key standards: infrastructure, staff, leadership/management support, counselling curriculum and activities, resources, documentation, school partnerships/associations.
