Active Advising
Our goal is to develop an understanding of the unique characteristics of your child’s values, feelings and interests, personal strengths and weaknesses, academic learning style and ability, extracurricular activities, athletic activities, and special talents. Working with families we’ll shape a practical list of important educational and extracurricular “must-haves” for recommended schools.
We will then begin thoroughly researching which environments meet your child’s needs, talking with admission personnel, and creating a personalized collection of best-fit schools. This tailor-made list of options will be fine tuned as we continue to walk you through the process.
During this stage we also assist in application preparation. While Stratas can’t guarantee placement or acceptance, we can help your child put their best foot forward; bringing out their strengths with well-written applications, outstanding essays, and impressive interviews.
