The Transition to College Package

$4,500

College is a time in your child’s life when the demands (academic workload, independent living, decision making) increase while easy access to support from home (parents, teachers, coaches) decreases. Even students who were very successful in high school often lack the fully developed habits and skills they need to perform well academically, make good choices and feel empowered rather than overwhelmed in college.

The purpose of the College Transition package is to provide ongoing support, accountability and structure for college students, particularly in their freshman year when the transition to college can be overwhelming. Participating students learn the habits and skills they need to be successful as they embark upon their first year of college.

For many parents, the best part of this package is that we keep in touch with you and let you know how your student is doing. We note concerns early so we can troubleshoot them and provide support together.

Recommended Timing:
• Typically, the freshman year of college, but may also be useful in later years.

Includes:
• 15 video conference meetings via Zoom with the student.
• Phone, text and email support as needed.
• Email updates to parent after each meeting with the student.

Goals and Outcomes:
• Support, accountability and structure for students.
• Tools and strategies to improve grades, manage time, and use campus resources.
• Peace of mind for parents, knowing that a caring and experienced coach is supporting their student.
• A feeling of empowerment (rather than being stressed and overwhelmed) as the student begins to successfully navigate college.

Services:
This package will be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each student and family. The following is a list of services included in a “typical” Transition to College package.
