The junior year of high school is one of the most important years for college planning. We offer a junior plan that includes 5 appointments. We believe this process is unique to each student and should happen authentically over time with the support from family.

Takeaway— Our goal is to help the student:

• Build an appropriate college list for the student based on “good fit” for college major, rigor, goals, finances, student life, geography, and more.
• Begin pre-writing activities to help ease the student into the college application writing needed to complete applications.
• Be engaged in the college/career process.
• Complete a full testing plan appropriate for the college list and goals.
• Support the family/student in appropriate college visits and experiences.
• Develop a resume of experiences supportive of their college list and scholarship goals.
• Discover additional outside enrichment opportunities as appropriate, such as: research, summer experiences, and independent projects.
• Develop an authentic college major/career identity through job shadow suggestions, course recommendations, internet searches, and other assignments.

Timing: It is best to begin this process in July or August ahead of Junior Year, but we continue to accept new students throughout Junior Year as space allows.
