College Planning
We offer a variety of college planning and application services for students and families 9th – 12th grade.
We understand the college planning and admissions process and can help you embrace it with confidence. Planning for college can begin as early as the 9th grade. We help you understand the educational opportunities without overwhelming your student.
For students in the 10th and 11th grades, we provide the appropriate services to guide you through the search process so that by the 12th grade students are focused on the application process, meeting deadlines and making informed decisions. The goal is to find and target those colleges that are best-fit schools.
Students with differing interests, or those having special interests, may take additional time and attention. We provide in-depth research to help manage deadlines and expectations. We help refine the student’s interests, and help you focus on the best-fit colleges.
Students with unique goals may need more time with the process and opt for a gap-year. The same is true for transfer students. We work with you to refine your choices and understand the specifics of transferring.
We offer an initial complimentary 60-minute meeting to learn more about you, discuss your individual needs, and to determine specific services and fees. We are committed to meeting our clients in person. We can schedule a meeting at our office, mutually selected location or through virtual communication. Customized packages, hourly consulting, and retainer relationships are available.
