Empower your high school student to CLARIFY and FUTURE PROOF their career by joining
THE COLLEGE AND CAREER FELLOWSHIP
In 6 weeks, your high schooler will go from “I’m not sure what the right path is for me” to a clear, written plan for majors, careers, and next steps, with the skills and confidence to talk about it.
This small-group fellowship (4–6 students per pod) combines deep self-discovery, practical career tools, and expert coaching so your teen can make decisions about their future with clarity instead of anxiety. Complete the short interest form, and we’ll follow up to schedule a brief conversation to learn more about your student and their goals.
We are offering a $500 discount on programs for participants who can pay upfront. The program is typically $2,000 per student, and will now be $1,500 through March 2026.

OUR STUDENTS FIND CAREER CLARITY & DIRECTION
Our curriculum fosters comprehensive learning, skill development, personal growth, and confidence.
Is This Program Right For Your Teen?
This fellowship is for you if:
You’re already investing time, money, and energy into your teen’s growth (tutoring, test prep, enrichment, extracurriculars), and you’d love that same level of care focused on their direction, confidence, and long‑term path, not just their grades.
Your high schooler is bright and capable but feels unsure or overwhelmed when conversations turn to majors, careers, or “what’s next,” and you want them to have structured support to explore options at a healthy pace.
You’ve noticed that talks about the future can sometimes turn into tension or shutdowns, and you’d value a neutral, experienced coach who can help your teen articulate their strengths, values, and goals so family conversations feel calmer and more collaborative.
You believe your teen will thrive in a small, warm group where they’re known by name, listened to, and encouraged, rather than lost in a large, one‑size‑fits‑all setting.
This fellowship is not a fit if:
You’re seeking guaranteed outcomes like admission to specific colleges or particular scholarships; this fellowship focuses on building clarity, skills, and confidence that support stronger applications, not on promises no one can honestly make.
Your primary concern right now is serious attendance issues, safety, or acute mental health needs; in those situations, more intensive or clinical support is usually more appropriate, and we’re happy to point you toward resources that specialize in that kind of care.
You are looking mainly for test prep or additional academic instruction; this program is centered on identity, motivation, and practical career and life skills, which can complement, but not replace, SAT/ACT and subject tutoring.

✺ FAQs ✺
-
A student can expect an average time commitment of 5 hours per week over 6 weeks to get the most out of the program. Each coaching pod will run for 6 back-to-back weeks with 90 minutes of group-based learning, 30 minutes of office hours, and about 3 additional hours of independent growth work between sessions each week.
Many parents tell us this is the first time their teen has had a structured space to think deeply about their future, rather than just reacting to deadlines.
-
Your high schooler will be matched with a group of 4-6 other peers, who were all interviewed, vetted, and selected to be admitted into our selective programs. Each cohort will be led by one of our trained career coaches, who will be in charge of facilitating their comprehensive and interactive learning experience.

For the same price as a single credit hour from a Top 50 University OR the cost of a high-quality live SAT Prep Course, your high schooler will be able to receive programming that, up until now, hasn’t been available. Typically, parents can expect to invest around $2,000 for their student’s attendance in the program, but through March 2026, we are offering a discount for a total program cost of $1,500 per student. A limited number of scholarships are offered for students and families with financial limitations, so if you need help, please ask.
The clarity your high schooler gains can help them avoid costly major changes, extra semesters, and directionless years after graduation, often saving tens of thousands of dollars and years of frustration.

73% of students graduate from college and end up not working in an area related to their degree programs. Most of us know someone whose student changed majors and has taken out more debt or exceeded their allocated education budget to take more credits and stay 5+ years for that new major degree. The clarity your high schooler will gain in our programs will help to alleviate the additional costs and headaches associated with floundering between discipline selection and career decision-making. The cost-benefit is in the 10s of thousands of dollars, not to mention selecting a future-proof career with the uncertainty that AI technologies are causing in the job market.
