Discover how to start college advising earlier, without increasing the number of staff members in your college counseling office.

Most private-independent school families want their children to go to college. Some will hire an independent educational consultant (IECs) to guide them through the process.

You might think these individuals are in opposition to your guidance office—but both parties can support your students, with the right structures in place.

IECs can expand the capabilities of a college counseling office when the school absolutely can’t provide the kind of support necessary. Plus, working with them may be inevitable in some instances because parents will seek out additional resources for their child.

Join our free webinar to examine a pilot program between CollegeThoughts and Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia to look at how collaboration between a college counseling office and an independent college consultancy increased the college office’s bandwidth while providing more support for students.

This setup allows Episcopal to start college advising earlier, without adding college counseling staff. It also outsources the additional support needs of families who need more one-on-one support.

Explore how this creative pilot is working for Episcopal and your options for creating a similar partnership.
