In this ongoing class, scholars create a multi-year plan for college admissions success with a highly successful college coach who has a 100% overall acceptance rate & 97% admit rate to top schools.

Class experience

Through lecture, discussion, and interactive independent and collaborative activities, scholars will 
1. Research, know, and understand the graduation requirements for their school district/school. 
2. Know and understand the academic "look fors" of college admissions and create a multi-year college-prep academic plan.
3. Know and understand the assessment "look fors" of college admissions and create a multi-year college-prep assessment plan.
4. Know and understand the activities "look fors" of college admissions and create a multi-year college-prep accomplishments plan.
5. Align a multi-year plan with post-secondary education and career interests.
As an independent college counselor and education consultant for federal and state granted-funded programs, I have developed award-winning college and career readiness programs that have been scaled and replicated in several schools and districts. In these capacities, as well as my formed district and building roles, I have helped thousands of students of varied socioeconomic and academic programs succeed in getting accepted into the colleges, universities, and post-secondary institutions of their choice. Ninety-five percent (95%) of Pinnacle Prep scholars get into one or more of their top three choices. I consider my own two children’s success my greatest college counseling accomplishments because both graduated valedictorian (two years apart), were accepted to Stanford, MIT, five-six Ivy League universities, and several Top 20 colleges, and earned $2.5 million in merit scholarships together.
Scholars will access course resources, ask questions, and post responses to discussion questions via the Outschool Learner Space or Google Classroom.

Students will use one or more of the following writing programs and applications to complete assignments: .doc, .docx, .pdf, .pages, .rtf, .txt, Google Docs, Google Slides, etc. The assignments may also be typed directly into the chat box option.
My role is to provide coaching and guidance to scholars. My role does not involve making decisions for scholars, writing applications or essays, creating the 4-year plan or college list, completing FAFSA, or any other action that may be deemed unethical in practice and counterproductive to scholar taking ownership for his/her/their own college journey. While I guarantee to provide high-quality, coaching and support, I do not make any guarantees that scholars will succeed excel at every high school endeavor or be admitted to their schools of choice, as intrinsic motivation and a number of other variables relative to a scholar's qualitative and quantitative data inform high school and college success.
Scholars will reference the websites of their local school district/school, local/state/national organization websites, and colleges of interest to locate relevant information to inform their Pinnacle Prep Multi-Year #Aim2GetAdmitted College Readiness Plan. Scholars will also reference teacher-selected college admissions articles, videos, and resources.
