Maybeck and Higher Education Maybeck and Higher Education Maybeck is a college preparatory high school, and most of our graduates go on to college and university study. We make Advanced Placements examinations available to interested students. Maybeck graduates are accepted by and attend a wide range of universities, colleges, and professional schools. College Couseling Over the course of their years at Maybeck, our college counselor guides students through the steps they need to take to prepare for and apply to college. Students and their parents attend a College Night in the spring of the sophomore year to learn about how to begin the college search process and how to ensure that the student will be college-ready. There is another College Night for juniors the following year, after which the application process begins in earnest. In the spring of their junior year, students meet with the college counselor both individually and with their families to discuss their goals and choose which colleges to apply to. In addition, the school offers an SAT preparation course for juniors. During the senior year, the college counselor guides students and their families through the application process: helping students develop timelines for completing their applications, showing them how to request letters of recommendation, giving feedback on essay drafts, conducting mock interviews, and helping families navigate the financial aid application process.
