 THE AMERICAN SCHOOL - College Guidance


The American School of Puerto Vallarta is pleased to announce the colleges and universities that have accepted our graduates from the Class of 2010: Drake University, University of Central Oklahoma, the University of Oklahoma, Trinity University, Loyola University in New Orleans, Whitman College, Suffolk University, Edison College, Phillips Exeter Academy, Ecole Hotelier Lausanne, Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland, Les Roches, Universidad Iberoamericana, Universidad de las Americas Puebla, Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey (campuses in Guadalajara, Aguascalientes and Monterrey), Libre de Derecho in Monterrey, ITESO, Universidad Panamericana, Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia Okanagan. One of our graduates was wait-listed at the prestigious University of New York at Abu Dhabi and was invited to spend a weekend at the United Arab Emirates to visit the school. Congratulations to all!

Of special note, one of our top students in grade 10 was accepted and will be attending Bard College at Simon’s Rock, a unique school that allows high school juniors and seniors to begin their college careers early. This student was offered a 100% scholarship as well. ˇFelicidades!



 Career Exploration

We begin career exploration in earnest in grade 10, using a number of tools available on the internet. For students planning to study in Mexico and some other countries, this is especially important, as they must apply directly to a particular career at university. Those going on to the United States and often Canada have more time to choose their major, usually after 1-2 years in college. Even if they must apply to a particular program upon entry, they generally have the chance to change without jeopardizing the credits they have earned. Within the American School of Puerto Vallarta we provide all students with a membership to myroad.com, our principal tool for vocational guidance and part of the CollegeBoard, of which we are a member. You might want to explore the career development guide called Steps to Success from Waterloo University in Canada. Many other online tools are available, including one used at nycareerzone.org in the State of New York that allows you to create a free account and then follow the links to assess yourself using a test developed by the U.S. Department of Labor. The assessment suggests a list of possible careers, depending on your interests and the number of years you want to study. Most of the links on this site are free, but some of the more complex assessment sites charge a fee.
