COACHINGCURRICULUM

That’s why we use a very systematic approach to our coaching and curriculum to help keep students on course for a purposeful four years of high school.

Through our 156 page workbook, we provide a plan for every high school year of the most important tasks a student will need to accomplish.

We also provide them reminders to make certain they don’t miss any deadlines. With a little organization (and coaching), they’ll be ready to apply for college on-time, with far less stress.

  • Student Self-Assessment
  • Academic planning
  • Standardized Tests
  • College Search
  • Personal Statement Essays
  • Financial Aid
  • Scholarship Search
  • Communications
