Our college counselors customize a plan of action based on the student’s interests and skills. First, they walk students through the college application process and make sure they understand what is needed each step of the way. Counselors conduct weekly online meetings with students and assign them tasks to encourage independence and initiative. Each course of action is unique depending on the grade level of the student to make sure they receive the most relevant content.
