University Counseling at Aeon School

Helping Students Answer the Question: What’s Next?

Fit Over Formula

Every Aeon student begins their university journey with the same question: What’s next? And the answer isn’t a formula—it’s a fit. Our counseling program centers student well-being, authentic self-reflection, and the discovery of environments where students can grow into the strongest version of themselves. We move beyond rankings and checklists to help students identify the values, priorities, and aspirations that truly matter.

A Partnership That Builds Sturdiness

University counseling at Aeon is a partnership rooted in guidance, ownership, and growth. We lead students through the choreography of the application process—scaffolding, structuring, coaching—but students take the steps. They learn to meet deadlines, articulate their stories, and develop the sturdiness needed to face both success and disappointment with confidence. We support; they lead.

Meet Heather Marks

Director of College Counseling

"A college counselor is the curator of someone’s life, to help them collect all the interesting stories big and small, and to help a student make sense of that, and to understand what stories they need to tell. I am here to help a student look back at their achievements and develop a deep understanding of why that matters to them, and then be able to leverage that to opening doors."

You are not one student among many. You are a person with unique traits and personal experiences.
