COLLEGE COUNSELING FOR FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES
Get a head start! Build a strong foundation now, and apply with confidence later.
The early years of high school are the best time to explore interests, challenge yourself academically, and get involved in activities that matter to you. Karl works one-to-one with 9th and 10th graders to strengthen their academic foundation, expand their extracurricular involvement, and help them grow into strong future college applicants, without adding stress.
What’s included:
- A minimum of three to four structured virtual sessions per school year, fully customized to your student.
- Flexible check-ins as needed. Students can also schedule 30-minute meetings whenever high school or college-related questions or opportunities come up.
Topics include:
- Transitioning to high school: building strong study habits and executive functioning skills
- Interest and aptitude assessment: discovering strengths and possible career paths
- Academic and extracurricular strategy: finding meaningful ways to grow, volunteer, and lead
- Course planning: choosing the right classes and level of challenge
- Building relationships with teachers: the future authors of strong recommendation letters
- Summer planning: making summers count
During sophomore year, we’ll begin introducing college-related topics as appropriate, such as an SAT/ACT testing plan and visits to a few college campuses to start shaping your student’s preferences.
What does it cost?
Tuition for the Freshman & Sophomore Counseling program is $2,000.
Freshmen and sophomore program students are also guaranteed placement in our Junior/Senior College Counseling Program, with tuition locked in at the per-phase rates in their proposal. Starting early also means your student builds a lasting relationship with Karl and the Academic Angle team long before applications begin!
