OUR APPROACH
Expertise. Collaboration. Ingenuity.
Middle and high school students rarely get the individualized mentorship they need to be successful through their school. In fact, according to the American School Counselor Association, the national average ratio of students to school counselors is 385-to-1 for the 2022–2023 school year (the most recent year for which data is available). Moreover, school counselors typically only meet briefly with students once or twice over four years. Most often, these short check-in meetings typically only take place during students' senior year - when it's way too late to make significant, meaningful progress.

Our Curriculum
Our data-driven curriculum is developed by a team of expert educational researchers.
Our curriculum is updated continually to reflect new findings in relevant literature.
​
Below is a general overview of the curriculum students will cover in one-on-one meetings.
Grades 6 to 8
Our mentorship curriculum for students in grades 6 to 8 focuses on foundational skills that are essential for success in any industry. Dr. Jessica White guides students through tailored modules on topics including time management, organization, leadership, communication, and much more. Students also begin to set goals and monitor progress through guided benchmarking. In the following years, the lessons learned during this time will be referenced and built upon in our progressive curriculum.

Grades 9 to 10
As students progress through grades 9 to 10, our curriculum becomes progressively more specific to meet individual needs and interests. In addition to covering general fundamental topics like study skills and resumé building, Dr. Jessica White guides students in proactively finding post-high school opportunities that are a good fit early on. She then advises students on the exact pathways they should follow throughout high school to prepare for a future in their preferred industry.

Grades 11 to 12
In grades 11 to 12, students prepare for life beyond high school in an invaluable seminar that covers essentials and is additionally tailored to their unique, specific individual needs and interests. Dr. Jessica White aids students in applying to colleges, universities, or programs that are the best fit for them via one-on-one workshops on application elements including essay topics, activity lists, and much more. Students also receive guidance on financial literacy and explore available scholarships and FAFSA, as applicable.
Tracks We Offer
Many generic college counseling services exist, but we're so much more than that. Dr. Jessica White provides meaningful mentorship for every student, whether they are college-bound or not.
In addition to offering superior college counseling services that help students earn admittance into highly competitive, top-ranked universities, we also specialize in guiding students who intend to enter a career field or the military right after high school graduation.
We're different because we understand that every student has unique needs and interests. In fact, we celebrate that! We work with every student to ensure they're on the best track to achieve their goals. We begin students on a track as soon as they join us. We'll learn about your student's specific goals in our onboarding meeting and will set them on the right track from there.
