Services and Fees

The service packages described below are designed to help a student navigate the college search process. We are also happy to tailor the sessions to fit a student's needs.  Additional sessions may be needed depending on the number of applications to be submitted and when the student starts the program.

​

Many families choose to get an earlier start on the college process by scheduling appointments for a high school freshman or sophomore. That’s great! We recommend 1-2 sessions for freshmen and 2-3 sessions for sophomores (at the single session rate).
