Mount Vernon Academy's Guidance Center offers
students resources for career development and higher education. Here students
have access to information on colleges and universities, or if a student
chooses not to go on to college, access to career planning assessments and
portfolios. Assessments are made with the Kuder Career Planning System, ACT
Discover Program and COIN Preparations. The Guidance Center is equipped with
five computer workstations, videos, periodicals and many other resource
materials.
In addition, Mount Vernon Academy provides
opportunities for students to explore life and prepare for the future.
Students are able to discover and build on their area of interest.
Career planning and exploration begins in the freshman year. A
wide variety of interest, personality and work inventories are available
to assist students in discovery of personal strengths. Career components
are built into all courses with particular emphasis placed in the junior
and senior years.
