At CMASAS, we encourage our students to own their college admissions process and we work with parents to monitor their progress. As academic advisors, we meet regularly with students and parents, host grade-level informational get-togethers, provide ongoing communications, and create a plan with deadlines to help keep students on track. 

As part of our personalized learning model, we invest time in understanding students' passions and dreams. We assist them in developing a Personalized Education Plan (PEP) to be intentional and guide them on a path to achieve their personal goals. For students intending to pursue higher education, we provide college counseling in planning the application and selection process, offering resources to help identify and apply for scholarship opportunities. 

We guide students at all grade levels to be self-guided and independent while fostering solid communications skills to enable them to advocate for themselves. Additionally, we emphasize the significance of resilience, critical thinking, and problem-solving throughout their time at CMASAS. Many of our alumni express gratitude for the thorough preparation we provided, aiding in a smooth transition into college.

CMASAS’s Personalized Guidance Program (PGP) follows the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) guidelines, supporting students through four core components:

  1. Guidance Curriculum - Grade-specific lessons fostering self-awareness, career exploration, and future planning.
  2. Individual Planning - Personalized guidance for academic, personal, and career goals.
  3. Responsive Services - Access to counseling services—including individual, family, and group support—to promote well-being.
  4. System Support - Program management, staff development, and community outreach to ensure robust, holistic support for our students and families.
