Academic Support
Academic performance is a college admissions officer’s first impression of a student, making it an essential metric in college admissions. Our counselors assess students individually and provide personalized suggestions for improvement, both for classes and study skills as a whole. Support for students consists of regular academic check-ins, development of study plans and study skills, guidance in discovering the root of a student’s problems, connection to tutors as needed, and a study hall space where students can work with our counselors on assignments and building positive study habits. We aim to help students improve their academic performance in a comfortable, positive environment.
Extracurricular Activities
Admission to colleges relies not only on applicants’ academic performance, but also on their overall profile, which includes their personal characteristics and extracurricular activities. A student’s extracurricular activities list gives admissions officers a more complete view of who they are overall. The universities are not looking for “perfect students”—they are looking for future leaders, people who are passionate about their interests, and individuals who actively contribute time and expertise to their communities. We believe that every student has a unique, unlimited potential, so we help students find, cultivate, and pursue their particular interests creatively and deeply. Whether it’s big extracurricular programs or personal passion projects, our counselors encourage our students, provide ideas for paths forward, and help our students pursue their passions to the fullest.
Holistic Care
Here at Elevate, we care not only about academic success, but also about our students personally. School can be incredibly stressful for students, but during adolescence, they often do not want to share their thoughts and emotions with parents. Our counselors connect with students in a way that parents may not be able to, which helps us help them. We aid students with personal problems, time management, finding time to relax despite school pressure, and managing mental health. We hope to offer a warm environment in which these students can mature into driven and responsible adults.
