Manage the High School Years
Grades 9 and 10 are critically important in planning for post-secondary studies. During these years students focus on building and refining the core academic skills of receiving, recording, analyzing, and interpreting information. Students also develop the confidence to take risks scholastically as they explore a variety of academic disciplines and interests. They also begin to discover their passions and strengths.
The aim of our post-secondary planning program is to guide students – as well as their families – to maximize available educational and extra-curricular opportunities. The amount of time required depends on the student’s grade, desired post-secondary programs as well as other individual requirements.
VerveSmith’s post-secondary planning program begins with an assessment and is supplemented by one-on-one meetings.
