Counselling

Bloomingdale International School strongly believes college counselling is not about ranking or social status but it is about finding the best fit college for the student. This journey for the student should be a “process and not a product”.

Opportunities for every student

Bloomingdale International School has taken a pioneering step by establishing a dedicated, full-time, in-house college counselling cell, making it the first of its kind in the region.

In the current landscape of K–12 education, career and college guidance is of vital importance. It is the cherished aspiration of every student to secure admission into a prestigious university or college for their higher education. However, admission criteria for universities and colleges go beyond mere grading systems. They prioritize the holistic development of students, focusing on their intellectual curiosity and drive.

This intellectual curiosity is reflected in the student's profile, which is shaped by their involvement in various activities. Hence, there is a crucial need to streamline these activities to guide students towards the right college fit. Thus, the inclusion of comprehensive career and college guidance in schools becomes exceedingly essential.

Key focus of the Career and Guidance Department

At Bloomingdale, we believe in the adage that the early bird catches the warm. Hence, we commence our counselling services for students starting from grade 8 and onwards. Our comprehensive approach entails raising awareness about profile building, providing guidance on PSAT/SAT exams, organizing college fairs, conducting master classes and guest lectures from universities and industry experts, and assisting with the college application process, among other invaluable resources.

In-House College Counselling Cell

The career counselling cell serves as an enlightening resource for students, enabling them to delve deeper into the realm of universities. We have recently inaugurated our in-house career counselling and guidance cell, equipped with an extensive collection of university brochures and pennants. Students will have the invaluable opportunity to peruse these materials and engage in interactive discussions with our knowledgeable college counsellor.

PSAT Centre

Bloomingdale is the authorized center for administering the PSAT exams. Annually, we facilitate the administration of the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, and PSAT NMSQT for students in grades 8 to 10. We warmly welcome students from other schools to partake in these examinations as well. For those interested in registering, please do not hesitate to reach out to our college guidance counsellor at sabastin@bloomingdale.edu.in.
