Welcome to Orthodox Christian College Counseling!
Christ is in our midst!
Our mission is to help Eastern Orthodox Christian teenagers and their parents navigate the high school experience and guide them through the college search, application, and selection process from an Orthodox perspective.
Whether you attend a public, private, or home school, OCCC is here to help students find their best academic, social, financial and spiritual fit college - or any other plans they may have after high school.
The key emphasis is on keeping Christ and our salvation at the forefront of our lives and future aspirations.
What We Offer
OCCC offers support, resources, and consultation to families on navigating high school and planning for beyond from a practical, as well as spiritual, viewpoint. Families will not only receive practical guidance on courses, college applications, and related matters, but the planning process will also prioritize the spiritual health and well-being of the students. Please see the Services menu for more detailed ways we can support you/your school.
What We Don't Offer
Unlike some other independent college counselors, Orthodox Christian College Counseling does not offer any guarantees to students/families about being admitted to any particular school or set of schools. We will not guarantee you get into an Ivy League school or one of your "top 5 choices."
We believe that the most important focus should be on finding the right academic, social, financial, and spiritual fit while maintaining a physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy balance. If you you get admitted to your "dream school" and it is a good overall fit - Glory to God! If the right fit for you is Plan B, a community college first, going into the trades, etc. - Glory to God!
Our ultimate goal is not what college we get into, or what job we are hired for, but the salvation of our soul.
