For College Representatives

Welcome, college representatives! We're excited to see you, and we thank you for including us in your travel plans.

Our ambitious and highly prepared students go on to attend a diverse range of excellent colleges and universities. Seniors apply to schools throughout Florida and across the country. Our students are motivated, intellectually curious, and eager to meet you.

We’re also excited for you to experience our School, located on the barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, and, if you have some extra time, to explore our beautiful area of Florida, the Treasure Coast.

College Tours, Counselor Receptions and Fly-Ins

Our team travels to visit college campuses throughout the country. We always appreciate invitations to your on-campus fly-ins, advisory boards and related special events. We also welcome invitations to virtual collaborations and South Florida counselor events.
