The most important step before 11th grade.
These activities will shape your child's application.

The best way to help our kids thrive in high school is by getting them off to a good start in 9th and 10th grades.
At first glance, these years don’t seem as critical as 11th/12th grade, but every decision has a significant impact on their application.
The activities, achievements, and leadership roles they take on will shape their college applications.
If they don’t choose these wisely, with a clear Student Brand in mind to guide the decisions...
They'll end up trying to piece together a story with elements that don't quite fit.
That’s why I suggest our current students take the first three masterclasses before school starts: Student Brand, Finding Your Passion, and The Strategic Edge.
These masterclasses will help them pick the right activities based on their passions, allowing them to make smart choices to get into their dream school.
Just the other day, I received a message from a fellow parent, Ravi, who shared how the Academy has helped his child head into 9th grade with the right perspective:
“Before discovering Dr. Grigas' Admissions Academy, I found it challenging to convey the importance of early preparation and strategic thinking to my child, who will be entering 9th grade this fall. The Academy has provided a roadmap for pursuing in-depth interests and achieving breakthrough accomplishments, which can be intimidating, but the content is very interesting and full of novel concepts.
The themes and principles are backed up with real-life examples and careful explanations, all very clearly put forth! The Admissions Academy has provided a solid foundation for my child to start thinking strategically about his future, and I look forward to continuing to work with him using the valuable insights and tools provided by Dr. Grigas.”
Look, I know getting kids excited about college admissions can make you feel pushy or like you’re putting undue pressure on them.
That's exactly why I created the College Admissions Academy.
We provide a structured and engaging way for students to start thinking about their future and making strategic choices, while you enjoy time with your child without any extra pressure.
Right now, there are only 4 days left to join the first group coaching call.
This is the last chance to ask questions before the busy school year starts.
The deadline is August 18th.
I suggest giving your child time to check out the Masterclasses. This way, they’ll come prepared with questions.
