Client Testimonials

Simply the best

"This was the best professional development I've had in my 25 year career."

College-Going Culture

"Our college nights and financial aid nights have improved tremendously in both content delivered and attendance. Students are applying sooner. Our school culture has improved tremendously toward a more 'college-going' culture!"

Every student matters

"I've adopted the position that every single child that stands in front of me is a future college graduate and I treat them as such."

Five Stars

"I immediately shared the resources and started teaching colleagues about what I learned. This training should be required for all counselors!"

Counselor Collaboration

"As a result of the training, our 8th grade students are going to the high school to meet the counselors, admin staff, take a tour of the campus, learn about classes offered, and talk with student ambassadors.... This is a valuable change!"

New Programs for Students

"Based on what I learned, I created a class for middle grades students that allows them to plan for their future and learn about the expectations of high school and secondary education."
