Are You Ready For College?

Preparing for college is one of the most exciting times in a young person’s life.

In fact, your imagination is probably swarming with ideas about what these next four years will be like.

For most people, college is an amazing, fun-filled experience. But if you’re intentional about your search for the right school, you have a much better chance that your college experience will live up to your highest expectations.

There’s a lot more to college planning than applying to an Ivy League school and hoping for the best.

That’s why Beyond Ivy takes a holistic approach to college planning. We consider all the factors so that you end up with the future you want.

Think Outside the Classroom

You’ve picked a major, a dream school, even a safety school—but much of your college experience will take place outside the classroom.

From the campus culture and school safety to dorm life and extracurricular activities, planning for college should consider every aspect of your experience.

Financial Planning Made Simple

Preparing for college isn’t just about good grades and high test scores; you also need to make sure you (more specifically, your parents!) can afford it. College tuition is expensive.

But the truth is—you are in the driver’s seat!

With strategic planning, scholarships, and financial aid, there are plenty of ways to navigate the college financial landscape with confidence. Don’t discount private schools, either! Many offer more financial assistance than public schools.

Empowering families with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions is at the heart of all we do. With Beyond Ivy, we’ll help you make your No. 1 choice your most affordable choice too.

Your Education, Your Life

There isn’t one single way to prepare for college. It’s different for every student and every family. That’s why every Beyond Ivy student creates a customized program based on their age, goals, and unique situation. Our team has worked with college-bound student athletes, homeschooled students, students planning to enter specific job fields, students who are considering Gap Year options after high school, and many more.

See what past students have to say about Beyond Ivy.

“Ms. Rose Ellen was a life saver for my daughter and I during the college essay writing process! She stepped in for us over winter break when we were facing multiple deadlines. My daughter was at her wit’s end with the stress of coming up with essays that really spoke to who she was and her plans for the future.”
