College Transition Program

This program is ideal for high school seniors and college freshman. Having worked with hundreds of rising seniors, we know what students need to do to make the transition to college successful.

2006 marked the first year when over 50% of students who enrolled in college didn't earn their degree within six years. The graduation rate for students who enroll in college is now less than one and two, and the majority of those students who do drop out do so within their first year.

This program is designed to combat that statistic. It helps students and parents protect their investment in college and ensure students build a strong foundation from the beginning of their collegiate experience.

The package includes:

• 18-session College Transition Program (from the 2nd semester of senior year to the 1st semester in college)
• Unlimited email support for students and parents

"A path for success was built, and it was like I remembered who I am."
- Sarah, Academic Leadership Program Graduate, Class of 2009

Students in this program will gain skills and knowledge to take full advantage of the opportunities that college offers as well as learn how to position themselves for graduate school and future career.

You will apply the three secrets of a successful transition to college (you can request a FREE pdf from contacting us) and receive one-on-one coaching from a Top Ten Skills trained and certified coach.
