The path to
post secondary education is not always clear.

We can help.

Finding the path you were always meant to be on.

Choosing the right path forward after High School is not just about test scores and essay writing (though they can be important, too). It’s really about finding the path you were always meant to be on.

Our team of experts will lead you on the journey of self-discovery that starts in early High School. 

This includes discovery for both student and parent on where your interest is strongest and the right school to support those dreams.

It starts with four easy steps

Step #1

Complementary Family Strategy Call
We start with a strategy call to meet your family where you are in the college and career journey. In this conversation, we:

  • Learn about your child’s interests, strengths, and aspirations
  • Uncover common blind spots that derail many students
  • Answer the big question: “What should we do next?”
    You can’t plan the path without knowing where you’re starting.
  • Step #2

    Career Exploration & Student Discovery
    Find the "why" before choosing the "where." 1:1 coaching with an expert advisor using assessments, exploratory conversations, and tools, to:

  • Help your student discover the career paths aligned to their interests
  • Outline what those paths look like in real life (education, lifestyle, income)
  • Build motivation and clarity so your student owns the process
    We help your child start with purpose.
  • Step #3

    Educational Pathway & College Strategy
    Utilizing 24 academic strategy calls to help your student every step of the way. Your advisor will:

  • Identify colleges (or alternative paths) that support career goals
  • Research schools aligned with your student’s academic and financial needs
  • Guide your student through essays, applications, deadlines, and decisions
    We take the pressure off you, and your teen, by managing the complex timeline and guiding every step.
  • Step #4

    Final Decision & Financial Strategy
    Choose with confidence. Plan with clarity.
    By the end of your journey, your family will be equipped to:

  • Compare acceptances, aid packages, and academic programs
  • Understand the short and long-term implications of each choice
  • Make a decision based on both heart and logic
    You’ll walk away with a clear plan, confident choice, and peace of mind knowing your teen is headed down the right path.

  • Ready? We are too.

    We get it. Choosing the right college with your student can be daunting. Let us help you put them in the driver’s seat and take the stress off of you.
