Expert College Counseling for Selective Admissions

Custom college counseling support for families navigating the selective admissions process. With a deeply personalized approach, strategy, and execution we focus on ensuring your child finds the right-fit environment where they can thrive.

Our Philosophy

We know the ins and outs of highly selective admissions. Our process is deeply consultative with every step tailored for your child. That’s why, for the critical junior and senior years, we offer three exclusive programs, each designed for a different level of access, personalization, and orchestration. 

These programs represent the highest level of support we provide, reserved for families who want absolute clarity and confidence in the admissions process.

Core Programs

For families navigating the critical junior and senior years, we offer three levels of partnership. Each program delivers a year of intensive support, tailored to your child’s strengths and goals.

Junior Year Packages

Foundation Programs

The early years of high school are critical for laying the foundation. These year-long programs ensure students are building the academic, extracurricular, and personal trajectory to thrive in the admissions process later on. Early planning prevents missed opportunities later.
