College Counseling

The Foundation Session: The Journey Starts Here

We introduced the Foundation Session to give families a smart, personalized entry point into the college admissions process, and it quickly became one of our most popular services. Whether your student is in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade, this 90-minute meeting is the ideal way to get clarity, reduce stress, and create a plan.

You’ll meet with an experienced college admissions professional to review your student’s transcripts, testing, and extracurriculars. Together, we’ll develop a plan and timeline for the college search and application process, with clear next steps to move forward with confidence.

The Foundation Session costs $250 and includes both the 90-minute meeting and a follow-up document outlining the most important takeaways from the consultation.

Contact Amanda to schedule your Foundation Session and take the first step on a low-stress college admissions journey.
