College Admissions

Arrupe students set high expectations for themselves and graduate prepared to continue their education in college and beyond.  Our college counselor works with students and families throughout their four years at Arrupe to help them select appropriate schools, understand financial aid opportunitites, and apply to three or more colleges by the time they graduate.

The Class of 2008, Arrupe's second graduating class, is setting a strong example for future generations of Arrupe students:

• 90% will be the first member of their family to attend college.
• Seniors submitted over 200 applications to colleges.
• 100% were accepted to at least one college of their choice.
• Graduating seniors have been offered over $2,150,000 in merit-based college scholarships.
