College Readiness Programs

At Premier Education, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive college counseling services to assist students in their pursuit of higher education. To ensure individualized attention and guidance, we support schools in assigning one college counselor for every 80 high school students.

Individual Counseling

Our individual counseling sessions are a cornerstone of our college counseling program. These one-on-one meetings with experienced college counselors allow students to explore their passions, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and create personalized plans for their academic and career goals. During these sessions, students can expect:

  • Academic and Career Counseling: We work closely with students to assess their academic performance, interests, and career aspirations. Through thorough discussions and assessments, we help them gain clarity about their future paths.
  • Personalized Academic Planning: Based on their individual goals and interests, we assist students in crafting academic and extracurricular plans that align with their college and career objectives.
  • Addressing Concerns and Challenges: Whether it's academic difficulties, personal concerns, or questions about the college application process, our counselors provide guidance, support, and solutions.
  • College Application Support: Recognizing the significance of the college application process, our counselors provide comprehensive support to students as they navigate this critical stage. We offer guidance on crafting compelling personal statements, preparing for interviews, showcasing extracurricular activities and achievements, and navigating the intricacies of college applications. Our aim is to empower students to present their best selves to colleges and universities.

Four-Year Academic Plan

Our high school schedules are structured based on individualized scheduling tailored to each student's passions and needs. Crafting a four-year plan is vital for effective high school navigation and college readiness. Our college counselors collaborate with students to create personalized four-year plans, aligning them with their academic interests and future goals.

We assist in choosing courses to meet graduation requirements while aligning with passions and career aspirations.

Early Planning and Annual Review: The four-year plan begins before or at high school entry, establishing a strong foundation. We annually revisit and adjust the plan to adapt to evolving goals and interests, ensuring students' goals are met. Our dynamic Four-Year Academic Plan empowers students to optimize their high school experience and prepare effectively for college.

College and Career Counseling Classes As part of our program, we conduct weekly College and Career Counseling classes. These classes are designed to provide students with valuable insights and guidance regarding their academic and career paths. The classes rotate throughout the week to ensure all students receive this vital information.
