College and Career Counseling
Career guidance that helps A.B.A.T. secondary students explore pathways, apply to universities, and plan for the future.
Applying to university can be an exciting milestone, but it may also be demanding and stressful for graduating students. A.B.A.T. provides age-appropriate career guidance across grade levels, with particular emphasis on secondary school students, helping them explore future pathways, make informed decisions, and become lifelong learners and active leaders in their communities.
Over the years, A.B.A.T. students have gained admission to leading universities in Lebanon, including the American University of Beirut, Lebanese American University, Saint Joseph University of Beirut, and Beirut Arab University. High-achieving students have also received full or partial scholarships from reputable universities in Lebanon. Other graduates have pursued their studies at universities in the United States, Türkiye, Cyprus, and additional international destinations.
Supported by the Makassed Support and Wellbeing Advocacy Unit (SAWA), A.B.A.T.’s College and Career Counseling Program provides secondary school students with structured guidance throughout the university and career-planning process.
