College Preparation and Affordability

The “right” college for your child is one to which he or she is admissible, is adaptable to their needs and affordable, even in this economic climate. Too many times, parents believe that the more expensive a school is or the better known a school is, the better it will be for their college-going youth. Many parents further believe that getting the right education for their child will mean an agreement to take loans of over $175,000 for college.

This could not be further from the truth! There are very great and top schools available if we can just get past not having heard about those more affordable schools and instead teach our youth that it’s more important that we can: 1) save our retirement funds and still afford their education while they can get the hands-on experience to succeed in life and 2) that the school promotes the student values and behaviors needed for success.

If you need additional assistance beyond our classes and posted information, there are low-cost options to address parent needs for:
