COLLEGE COUNSELING AT PARK
The Park School of Buffalo offers a unique, personalized, comprehensive college counseling program beginning in Grade 9 that erases the need for parents to pay for a private college counselor. Our goal is to get students into college and out of college by connecting them to an institution that is the right fit for them academically, socially, artistically, and athletically.

HEAR FROM PARK GRADUATES
"Park and Mrs. Lewis played a crucial role in assisting me and numerous other kids in navigating the difficult college selection process. Their advice for me extended beyond academics; they recognized my love for basketball and assisted me in finding universities that were a perfect fit for me intellectually and athletically. They made sure I was ready for success on the court and in the classroom by putting me in touch with the appropriate coaches and offering priceless guidance on juggling sports and academics. They helped me develop into the person I needed to be in order to thrive in college and beyond, and their support didn't end with the application process." - Chase W. '23, Keuka College
"The journey from high school to college can be long and confusing. I had many questions about the college process and thankfully they did not go unanswered because I had an outstanding team of faculty members by my side to guide me every step of the way. Our college counselor at Park, Mrs. Lewis, was always there to help me through the entire process. She would encourage me to get everything done ahead of time, which saved me from the stress of trying to finish everything last minute. She continuously pushed me to do my best and to work towards my goals, even when they seemed unreachable. I am so thankful for Mrs. Lewis, and everyone else at Park who supported me throughout my high school journey. Thanks to all of them, I have built the skills of time management, perseverance and critical thinking which is shaping me into a successful college student!" - Shamara N. '24, Cornell University
