Leaders in Higher Education Series
Deans/Directors of Admission from selective colleges including Kenyon, Case Western, Miami (Oh), and George Washington visit campus every year to speak with parents and workshop with students during the two-day event. For Maumee Valley, the visits also serve as an opportunity to showcase our School and program to colleges where our students commonly seek admission.

11th Grade College Field Trip
In the fall the entire junior class spends a day visiting one small, private college and one large, public university.  This experience gives students an early idea of what type of campus fits them best and what to expect, and how to proceed, with a college visit.  Last fall we traveled to Albion College and the University of Michigan.

College Essay Workshop
11th graders spend almost two weeks in English class drafting, revising, editing, and finalizing their Common Application essay. With the help of their college advisor and their English instructor, the students go through a comprehensive writing process culminating with a day-long workshop in May featuring four admissions officers from selective colleges who look over each student's essay and make suggestions from the viewpoint of an admissions reader.
