Advising Services
Understanding
Comprehend students' abilities, interests, personality, and learning preferences
Each student possesses a unique combination of skills and talents. We help students identify their learning strengths and areas for growth, determine possible college majors and design a course of study for success in high school and beyond.
Identifying
Highlight appropriate educational programs, and guide you through the research phase
Finding the right school can be both stressful or enjoyable. Ultimately, the process should be one of growth and self-discovery. We help clients identify schools and programs that would be a good fit based on their individual profiles.
Preparing
Review standardized testing options and resources, develop a test prep plan
Standardized testing is changing. We help students and their families determine if, when and where to focus their time and energy. We assist with determining which schools are test-optional vs. test-flexible, and whether or not a student should submit his or her results. Together, we will develop a timetable for test-prep and identify standardized test resources.
University is challenging. Getting there doesn’t have to be.
We offer comprehensive, professional guidance through each step of the application process to help students achieve their specific goals.
