A grounded, 90-minute session for parents of teens
When everything feels uncertain, it can be hard to know how much to plan — and how much pressure is too much. This live session is designed for parents who want a calm, big-picture understanding of how college admissions actually works, without panic, pressure, or comparison culture.
This is not a “how to get into Ivy League schools” webinar. It’s about fit, timing, options, and how to support your teen in a way that keeps them grounded, motivated, and confident. Highly selective schools may or may not be part of that picture.
This session is especially helpful for parents of 8th–11th graders who want to understand the bigger picture early and make thoughtful decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear.
What We’ll Cover
There will be time for Q&A at the end of the session.
