Workshops

A See Higher Education consultant is available to present and lead Step-by-Step to College Workshops (5-6 two hour sessions) for groups of 6-10 students.

This personal and condensed version of college planning is a spring board that will empower every student to confidently take control of her/his educational future and to manage information overload, to efficiently cut-through overwhelming college search and planning tasks and to answer those daunting questions often posed by parents, peers, teachers, family members and counselors during the high school years.

Workshops follow the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) Guiding the Way to Higher Education curriculum. While a personal approach will be developed to the needs of the group, there are age-based options:

Middle School - grades 7-8
Early High School - grades 9 to 1st semester 11
Late High School - grades 11 and 12

Workshop topics may include:
