Refine Direction. Strategize Academics. Plan Intentionally.
Sophomore year is one of the most important — and most overlooked — moments in the college journey. The foundation for junior year decisions is forming right now.
Schedule a Conversation →Why Sophomore Year Is the Overlooked Opportunity
By this stage, students are developing academic interests, extracurricular commitments are taking shape, and the foundation for junior year decisions is forming. Without guidance, these decisions are often made without a clear understanding of how they connect to future opportunities.
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
Sophomore Launch is designed for families whose student is in 10th grade — and who recognize that the choices made this year will shape the profile colleges evaluate two years from now.
You may be wondering how to help your student choose meaningful activities, whether academic rigor is on the right track, and what role you as a parent should be playing in this stage of planning.
This program gives every member of the family the context they need to move forward with intention.
