A Collaborative College Advisor Experience

Comprehensive college advising that guides students from dream to decision!

These final years of high school fly by and it seems there’s never enough time…

Your student has a big job as they balance the present moment (prom, homecoming, high school sports, time with friends, extra-curriculars, the list goes on) while dreaming and planning for their future! 

With over 4,000 colleges to choose from, the decision-making is no easy process, and managing the many nuances and intricacies of each application requirement can be overwhelming. 

Where and when do you begin the college planning process?

How do you know which colleges are aligned with your teen’s unique learning style, personality, interests, and aspirations?

How can your student stand out from the crowd as their peer's applications flood onto admissions desks?

We answer all your questions and more as we step in to collaboratively guide your student as their college advisor! 

 

Leading them seamlessly through the process of self-reflection, applications, essays, planning, college tours, and more so they can stand out with intention and certainty.
