Personal

Assessment

The student and parents meet with us separately so that we can understand the family background and preferences if any. We do a one-on-one meeting over the phone on in person with the parents to get an overview of the requirements and a one-on-one interaction with the student by administering a group of customized assessments and questionnaires intended to get a deeper insight of the child’s unique personality.

 

The final session with both the student and the parents to discuss the findings of the assessments and the academic advisor’s guidance regarding the student’s traits, strengths and weaknesses, study habits, possible career choices, guidance on curriculum choices and specific individualized suggestions.

Long Term

Mentoring

Starting the college process early can help reduce the overall stress of the application process for both the student and the family. Our long term mentoring program is specifically designed for 9th and 10th-grade students.

 

We create an individually tailored profile after evaluating academic progress and academic achievements, sports, extracurricular activities, volunteer work and interests. We also help craft the student’s academic career to be successful in the college application process. While we do not provide test preparation services, we can recommend test preparation tutors and companies that our students have found successful. Most importantly, we make ourselves available to you until you have chosen a school that is a good fit academically, socially, emotionally, and financially.
