The Complete Pathway- Embarking on the Journey

• Sixteen (16) :50-minute sessions with the student*
• Two (2) :30-minute bonus sessions to be used by the parents or student in any way they choose
• Two (2) :30-minute bonus sessions with the student that they can utilize first semester of college
• One (1) summary meeting with parents and student to go over accomplishments and next steps
• Written recaps of each session - outlining key points covered and action items to complete

Recommended for second semester juniors or entering seniors- 10 month pathway

During this 10 month complete pathway, the student will be guided through the A-J core requirements so that they develop their personal platform, create their criteria for college and prepare their list of colleges, create their extra-curricular resume, research the information they need to maximize counselor meetings and create questions for college visits and develop an organizational system to keep them accountable to their plan. They will utilize this foundation to help them in every aspect of the college application process including developing a timeline, prioritizing due dates and brainstorming ideas to create the essay and short answer questions. Along the way, their skills, their systems and their process will be identified to demonstrate how they can utilize to maximize their success in college. They will receive support  in the final decision-making process for choosing their college, as well as guidance in developing a plan around the transition from high school to college. 

The Directional Pathway - Navigating the Journey

• Nine (9) :50-minute sessions with the student*
• Two (2) :30-minute bonus sessions to be used by the parents or student in any way they choose
• One (1) summary meeting with the parents and student to go over accomplishments and next steps
• Written recaps of each session - outlining key points covered and action items to complete
• Unlimited email and text access between sessions

Recommended for juniors - 4 month pathway

The 4 month directional pathway is perfect for the junior year student who may be feeling overwhelmed with the "whole college thing" and helps them to "demystify" the process so that you head off the possibility of "procrastination and pain" and go straight to "easy and excited".  During this pathway, the student will complete the A-G core requirements so that they develop their personal platform, create their criteria for college and prepare college list, create their extra-curricular resume, research the information they need to maximize counselor meetings and create questions for college visits and develop an organizational system to keep them accountable to their plan.They'll have the confidence to know that they have everything they need going into their senior year in preparation for the college application process 

The Foundational Pathway - Charting the Course

• Three (3) :50-minute sessions with the student*
• One (1) summary meeting with the parents and student to go over accomplishments and next steps
• Written recaps of each session - outlining key points covered and action items to complete
• Unlimited email and text access between sessions

Recommended for freshmen or sophomores 

Whether you are building a house or creating your plan for the future, without a strong foundation to build on, the structure will be wobbly and not sustainable long-term.  That is the premise behind the foundational pathway and creating the student's personal platform. In this pathway, we work together to explore and discover the student's unique talents and strengths, who they are, what they love and how they can utilize that to make choices in all areas of their life.  This helps them to broaden their scope by building on and exploring opportunities in high school that strengthen that foundation and instill confidence in their decision-making ability early on. Beginning with this foundation helps make both high school and college planning easier, more fun and creates a personal platform that they can use for decision-making throughout their life. 

*sessions may be split into two (2) :25 minute sessions depending on the needs of the student
