Rooted in Purpose. Growing with Heart

The Jade Story

Rooted in purpose. Grown with intention. Built for families.

Jade College Planning began as more than a business idea - it began as a calling.

After decades of working in education, advising students and families from all walks of life, we saw the same patterns over and over: families feeling overwhelmed, unsure of what to do, when to do it, or how to afford it. Students full of potential but unsure of their path. Parents wanting the best for their children but frustrated by a college system that felt like a maze of deadlines, applications, test scores, and rising costs.

We knew there had to be a better way.

So we created Jade College Planning—a place where students and families could feel supported, understood, prepared, and empowered. A place where college planning didn’t start in crisis during senior year, but with confidence in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade. A place where access to expert tools, guidance, test prep, and resources didn’t come with an elite price tag.

We believe that strong test prep can open doors—to scholarships, selective colleges, and greater confidence. That is why our programs include not only personalized admissions advising but also access to affordable, high-impact SAT and ACT prep. Whether a student needs a quick refresher, ongoing support, or help figuring out which test to take, we are here with the right tools at the right time.

At Jade, we believe in early, personalized planning because we have seen what a difference it makes. Students who start early don’t just get into college - they step into it with clarity and direction. That’s why our programs are built around preparation, reflection, and action - tailored to each student’s strengths, story, and goals.

But we also believe in something bigger: community.

That is why we are not just a service - we are a movement. We host fundraisers and local events, partner with schools and churches, and work alongside families to make this journey one of hope, not stress. We’ve started creating scholarship opportunities to help students who might not otherwise have access. And we reinvest into communities because we believe the college process shouldn’t just be about individuals but, it should help to encourage and strengthen families, schools, and futures.

Jade represents more than success. It symbolizes growth, strength, and transformation. That is what we are here for. Whether a student needs help finding the right college, understanding financial aid, building a standout application, or boosting their test scores - we walk beside them every step of the way.

We know the college journey can feel overwhelming.
At Jade, it doesn’t have to.

Welcome to a more grounded, affordable, and empowering way forward.
