Helping Families Find the Right Education, for the Right Reason, at the Right School, for the Right Investment

The thought of what’s next after high school should not be daunting, or stressful for students and their parents. It is an exciting time of change and transition. As parents, like many of you, we understand firsthand how emotional the process can be to a student, a parent(s), and the entire household.

Working together we bring a holistic 360-degree approach to the process of creating an individualized college plan based on the needs, goals, and expectations of a student and their family – 100%.

We’ll bring clarity, insights, guidance, and peace of mind to make the journey an exciting time for a student and their family. 

Our goal, mission at Get College Going is to help family’s find the right education, for the right reason, at the right school, for the right investment.  

Planning is Essential

Most college planning begins when a student enters high school. The thought of going to college can start even earlier as middle school (and younger) parents focus on developing a student academically and personally while managing everyday needs, saving for college, and retirement. When a student enters high school, the actual planning begins with eyes on finding one’s education and career pathway after high school.

College planning does not have to be overwhelming or stressful whether it is a first-time experience or with multiple ages. Understanding tasks, responsibilities, and activities, and mapping them out in a comprehensive plan is key.  A plan that typically begins in the junior year but can work for a scrambling senior, a transfer, or individuals re-entering. Managing a plan to address the needs before, during, and post-high school will make every college experience a success.
