The most unique aspect of Oak Knoll’s college process, the “Junior Trip,” is held in September and allows students to visit college campuses and experience firsthand, from a student perspective, the wonderful variety of schools available to them.

ver a period of three days, the junior class tours approximately ten college campuses, meets with admissions officers and Oak Knoll graduates attending those colleges, and begins imagining what daily life is like at each school.
The college counselors design each trip to expose students to colleges varying in size, setting, and selectivity, and provides valuable statistics and information beforehand. The college counselors and other faculty chaperone the trip and are available to answer student questions. There are three rotating trips that cover colleges in New England, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. The typical cost is $300 per student.
