Careers lessons focus on the relation of aptitudes and skills with career options and help students choose the right course at college. Students are taught to make an effective use of information collated through their research by maintaining their own ‘research-excel sheets’. The importance of transcripts and ‘going beyond’ the syllabus for admission to top colleges and universities world- wide is emphasized, and students are encouraged to take up academic online courses and attend summer schools.
Feedback from past pupils of the school is also shared to help students better for their futures. The SAT, ACT and other college entrance exam preparation begins in S form. Students are encouraged to attend careers talks and college and university fairs to gain a better understanding of the application process and get first-hand information about the culture and environment of different colleges and universities.

In the SC Form, students are given personalised attention through individual meetings with members of the Careers department. The department members help them to draw up their own college and university lists and course options and provide each boy with a step-by-step guidance programme through every stage of the application process. They are also provided a close guidance in writing their SOPs and college admission essays and ongoing support for their CV building, work experience and SAT and ACT preparation as well as other specific additional tests required for the diverse range of courses and universities the students apply to each year.
