What We Do
Student-focused educational services.
The right college is the one where a student thrives – both academically and socially. A school’s name recognition does not guarantee success or fulfillment. College Search Navigators embraces this by providing innovative, personalized guidance for young adults and their families, so that they may confidently navigate each step in the college search and application process.
Our goal is to embrace and honor the student-driven process with expert guidance. This is not a cookie cutter approach; we focus on making your student the best version of themselves. By staying focused on the individuality of each student, we can search for the best educational opportunities and make great matches.
By making sense of the college admissions process, it becomes a more positive experience for both the student and their family, and can better maximize the student’s resulting educational opportunities..
Our services are provided through individual counseling, via a wide range of methods. Through innovative video meetings (allowing us to work effectively with students across town, across the country, even in another part of the world!), by phone, email, and by text – we strive to build a strong bond of support and communication with our students.
