Assessment
We want to know what makes you tick. Through self-assessment, observational information, exercises, tests and tools, we identify and develop strengths and unique characteristics, to establish goals and build a strong and distinct brand for each student.
Planning
We meet early and often. We create a plan to build upon as each student continues to grow and develop. We help each student determine and focus on their larger goals and ambitions. We serve as a personal guide throughout the academic and college planning process. From start to finish, we are here for you.
The Buzz
We always have an ear to the ground. We visit campuses. We attend and present at educational conferences each year and we connect with admissions offices around the world. We stay current and so do you.
You're In. Now What?
Embarking on a new academic or educational experience by beginning high school, changing schools, starting college, or commencing graduate school isn’t easy. The first semester can be exciting and it can be difficult. New place. New people. Challenging courses. We help students gain their footing and actualize their goals. We help navigate the first semester and beyond.
