    Starting NOW, everything your child does both in and outside of school counts toward successful college admission. We work together as a team to make certain each student’s plan and actions are pointed in the proper direction for his or her long-term educational goals. We encourage students to explore activities both within and outside of the school environment that enhance their strengths and challenge their weaknesses. We also encourage students to experiment with various extracurricular activities. Ideally one or two should be selected that will help shape a winning profile geared to college admission.

    Andrea (Andi) Frimmer, M.Ed., the “get your kid into college” lady, will:
