At Buckingham School we have an office exclusively dedicated to the implementation of the vocational orientation program. The program is designed to support students and parents in the process of planning the life project of our students.
The orientation is developed in the tenth and eleventh grades, where 5 lines of action are established for students to connect with their being, have clarity about themselves and make deliberate decisions about what they want to do.
Life Plan: Making Decisions
The Next Step: Options
How Do I Present Myself to Life?
Applying to Universities
Facing a New Reality
Life plan: Making Decisions
Defining what to study, where and how, is one more decision that allows us to know ourselves, learn and align our interests to continue a new stage after school. We support our students in making decisions with diverse tools that allow the recognition of their natural talents, strengths and thoughts, so they can manage their present and project their future.
The Next Step: Options
It is necessary to know the educational offer and the possibilities that exist. We start with a tour of careers, economic sectors and the national and international context in which we live. Analyzing how these influences affect professions. Additionally, we maintain strong relationships and build alliances with global universities, organizing visits, fairs and workshops for students to live experiences that bring them closer to university life.
How Do I Present Myself to Life?
At the beginning of this new stage, we prepare our students to face new people and institutions. We teach them to express who they are and what they want through their academic performance, essays, letters of recommendation, interviews and standardized tests. We want them to demonstrate their skills, accomplishments and share their dreams and illusions.
Applying to Universities
After making a journey of self-knowledge and exploration of universities and opportunities, the time comes to decide the direction you want to take; but not everyone has clarity. We accompany our students in the process of applying to national and international universities, we guide them and help them to have a timeline and deliverables with which they can fulfill the admission process and make informed decisions.
Facing a New Reality
The end of the school stage is aligned with the approach of coming of age, which means greater independence and freedom, but also more responsibilities. We want our students to live experiences, at the end of this stage, that allow them to assume this moment of their lives with autonomy and maturity.
Through the orientation program we make visible our task of dreaming and putting our students’ dreams in action.
