College Counseling for Grades 8-11
How can Pinnacle Prep help your scholar succeed in your #Aim2GetAdmitted?
The earlier students focus on college readiness and start college planning, the more competitive they will be for college admissions. Whether students are aiming for the most selective colleges or seeking top scholarships at their local university, Pinnacle Prep works with scholars to strategically develop and strengthen their Quad-A profile® by helping them to select rigorous academic courses and experiences and impactful activities that are aligned with their areas of interest.
The Pinnacle Prep coach guides scholars in developing an assessment prep plan and using free resources to develop effective test-taking strategies to help them meet their AP, IB, SAT, and ACT goals. Along the way, scholars develop leadership and executive functioning skills that help them to realize short and long-term goals and sustain their success.
Ultimately, Pinnacle Prep scholars become competitive applicants who distinguish themselves in their academics, activities, assessments, and accomplishments.
Pinnacle
Prep's results speak for themselves: Ninety-three percent (93%) of Pinnacle Prep scholars gain admission to one or more of their top three colleges and universities in the United States.
#Aim2GetAdmitted®
College Readiness (8-11)
Parents and educators always ask our founder, “How did you do it? How did you parent two humble, compassionate human beings who both graduated valedictorian?
From our founder's 20+ years of parenting scholars and working in K-16 education, she understands all too well that getting admitted to the top colleges and universities in the U.S. and the world takes so much more than having great test scores and excellent grades.
Our #Aim2GetAdmitted® College Readiness Program for Pinnacle Prep scholars in grades 8-11 focuses on developing executive functioning skills and a competitive college plan that readies scholars for college admissions success.
We work with Pinnacle Prep scholars to develop and strengthen their Quad-A profile®
over an extended period of time so that scholars explore, evolve, and excel in their interests and passions through rich and relevant academic experiences and activities, demonstrate aptitude through college-prep and college entrance assessments, and show uniqueness through individual accomplishments and attributes.
