Holistic Assessments


We start by getting to know your child through in-depth assessments of their academic performance and extracurricular activities.

Finding the right path can be exciting and a bit daunting. We help your child explore various career paths and academic majors through thoughtful discussions and assessments. By connecting their interests with potential careers, we guide them toward fields where they can thrive and feel passionate, enriching both their education and future career prospects.

Detailed College Research


Choosing the right college is more than just academic fit—it's about finding a second home that meets their social and emotional needs too. We delve into the specifics of each potential college, from campus culture to support services, ensuring we find the best match that will allow them to flourish.
