HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING
8th-11th grades
Helping students set goals and make a plan for high school courses, extracurricular activities, and standardized testing to prepare them for future college admission and success.
Timing
Choices students make in middle school can affect the types of colleges they get accepted into, the majors that are available to them, and even the cost of their college education. Students in 8th-10th grades can benefit greatly from guidance to help them understand their strengths, set goals, explore careers, and plan out their high school courses, activities, and testing with college admissions in mind.
Second semester of 11th grade is the best time for students to dedicate time and energy to figuring out which colleges they should apply to. These students have enough time to find colleges that are a good academic, financial, and social fit for them. With a solid college list ready by the summer before 12th grade, students are able to complete their college applications at a comfortable pace and get their applications in by early deadlines that give them the best chances for admissions and merit scholarships.
