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.

"Working with Pathfinders Advisors has been an absolute game-changer for our family during the college planning process. Their advisor, Aaron, brings a steady hand to what can often feel like an overwhelming and emotional journey, providing calm and organization every step of the way. What stood out most was how incredibly likable and relatable he is with my teenage son, building a connection that makes my son feel heard and understood. Aaron's thoughtful guidance is turning a stressful time into a manageable and even enjoyable experience. I can’t recommend them enough to any family navigating this challenging milestone of preparing to launch a kid!"

“Thank you! This is perhaps the best business I’ve come across in a long time...I had interviewed other “college counselling” companies but they didn’t offer the professionalism and decision making structure you offer. As soon as our daughter started the program, my anxiety went down by about 80 percent and I know she felt better. She also made her final decision based on the value framework you laid out for us. We’re smart enough to know we had no idea how to choose a college, and we are immensely happy with the decision Trixie made thanks to everyone.”

“I knew this would be the best fit for Carl and our family after a lot of research, and then meeting in person. The advisors were amazingly patient and encouraging with Carl. He’s on the autism spectrum, which posed some unique challenges in the process, but they were able to provide the individualized career planning and college admissions support he needed.”

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.
