Choosing a college is an exciting time that begins with a journey of first understanding interests, passions and setting specific goals.  Our goal is to first ensure that we understand who the student is, their strengths, and what specifically they envision their college experience/outcome to be and evaluate their options thoroughly.  The ultimate goal is to find the college that is the “Right Fit” for that specific student.
