Mission

We provide academic advising for students (primarily 8th grade through college). We meet families online, on school and college campuses, at community events, homeschool coops, in private homes, and in pop-up offices around the country. We evaluate each students situation to figure out what they need in order to graduate high school or college successfully. This often includes finding a new school or curriculum and connecting them to ongoing resources and extracurricular opportunities. We often guide them to vetted support services such as tutors, health practitioners, counselors and therapists, and educational specialist. For 12th grade and beyond, we assist individual students and families with college planning, selection, admissions, and scholarships. Our two big goals are helping families avoid taking on debt for college, and stopping students from exiting their educational pathway prematurely, especially at the high school level.

Academic Assessments & Strategies - We provide one-on-one assessments and advising for students in high school and college. Our primary student is struggling academically.

Regardless of the problem or the causes, we find viable school and financing options for every student that we work with. Most clients report staying with our academic plan into the next school year.
