Together, we will build a solid foundation to ensure
the best for your child.
the best for your child.
Did you know that nearly 1/3 of college freshmen don't return for sophomore year?
Kids don't just automatically know what kind of environment they will succeed in. When they look for colleges, they typically are influenced by friends and family - where are my friends going? Where do my parents want me to go? What colleges are around that I've heard of? This is an easy way to find a school, but not necessarily a recipe for success.
Your investment in your child's education is probably the second biggest investment you will make, after your home.
Do you want to leave that investment to chance?
I want you to:
- Feel confident that you're choosing the right colleges to apply to
- Stop feeing confused about what you should be doing
- Have meaningful stress-free conversations with your child about college
- Save time and money
- Enjoy these last months with your teen, where you still get to be their primary influence

The Ignition Package is perfect for those families who just need help making sure they help their child pick the right college for them. You're not worried about the details, you have the time and resources to to research various colleges, your child is a strong writer and knows what schools look for in the essay(s), and you are comfortable making sure everyone stays on track with varying deadlines. Most importantly, you and your child are both engaged and enthusiastic about applying to college. The Ignition Package focuses on your child and their preferences to narrow down the colleges for them to consider for a great college experience.
The Launch Package takes the Ignition Package up a notch. You recognize you need help finding the right college, but also know that the essay can be a real sticking point; your child will need some help and guidance. The last thing you want to do is spend your weekends asking if they've finished the draft of their essay. Avoid the eye rolls, the stomping feet, and the slammed doors. This package also provides another set of eyes on the application itself to make sure it is polished before submission.
The Orbit Package is for the family that wants support and guidance through the whole college application process. You want a partner from A to Z. In addition to the services in the Launch Package, the Orbit Package provides help with supplemental essays (required by a number of schools) and provides assistance with the important letters of recommendation. Further, we will sit down with your family at the beginning to understand your student's schedule, as well as your family calendar, to make a schedule that makes sense. Sports schedules, plays or musicals, or even just family vacations can all affect when portions of the application should be completed to avoid stress and burn-out; we can work with you to make the process as stress-free as possible.
