Amid the frenzy over college admissions, we focus on what really matters: empowering teenagers to shape their educational futures. We help students navigate the confusing, inflexible college application process and make informed choices based on their values, intellectual interests, mental health, and life circumstances.
Along the way, we support the whole family, taking weight off parents while involving them in crucial decision points.
