An experienced real estate developer, Roy MacDowell is a principal at Baystone Development in Weston, Massachusetts. Roy MacDowell remains actively involved in his community and is a former president of the board of trustees of the Rivers School in Weston.
One main focus of the Rivers School is college readiness, which includes starting the college search process early. In the winter of students' freshman year, counselors hold workshops that introduce students and their parents to the college search process and give them an idea of what to expect in the years ahead.
The major work begins in the junior year, which kicks off with a student and parent workshop that discusses how the school helps students find the best college for their goals. The junior year also has regular “Fireside Chats” during which families address their concerns with college admissions deans or directors.
Additional workshops are available for students involved in athletics and those planning on campus visits. Also during the junior year, a private family meeting takes place in which students and their parents talk about their college goals and expectations.
