Grade 10

Refine Direction.
Plan Intentionally.

Sophomore year is one of the most important — and most overlooked — moments in the college journey. Without guidance, critical decisions are often made without a clear understanding of how they connect to future opportunities.

Why Sophomore Year Matters

By sophomore year, students are developing academic interests, extracurricular commitments are taking shape, and the foundation for junior year decisions is forming. The choices made now — course selection, leadership opportunities, summer planning — quietly shape the application profile that colleges will one day evaluate.

The Sophomore Launch program helps families move beyond general exploration and begin building a thoughtful strategy for the years ahead. The result: families entering the critical junior year with clarity, alignment, and confidence.

Who This Program Is For

This program is designed for 10th grade students and their families who are ready to move from exploration to intention. You've navigated freshman year. Your student has a sense of where they excel and where they're still finding their footing.

Now is the moment to build on that foundation — to refine academic direction, strategize extracurricular involvement, and align as a family on what the next two years should accomplish. The Sophomore Launch gives your family the strategy session high school doesn't offer.
