Formal college planning begins in January of junior year, when students engage in workshops followed by individual and small group meetings with their assigned counselors.

“Each year, we are proud to see Arts Academy graduates go on to attend some of the world’s finest universities and conservatories,” said Chad Gapinski, Interlochen’s executive director of advising & counseling services. “This year is no different. These outstanding results speak well to the level of academic and artistic growth our students achieve here, as well as the care and guidance they receive throughout their college admission journeys.”
