Jade College Planning provides personalized college and career guidance for students and families navigating high school, college admissions, and post-secondary decision-making. We support students in understanding who they are, where they’re headed, and how to get there—academically, strategically, and confidently.

Earlier is always better, but it’s never too late. We work with students from middle school through senior year, helping families build strong academic foundations, explore interests and careers, plan for testing, and manage the college application process with clarity and confidence.

Yes. Jade College Planning supports students across a wide range of academic profiles, goals, and post-secondary pathways.

Families can choose comprehensive packages or targeted support based on their needs.

School counselors play an important role but often manage large caseloads and limited time. Jade College Planning provides individualized, ongoing support with dedicated time for each student and family. We partner closely with families to offer deeper strategy, personalized guidance, and step-by-step planning.

No ethical college planner can guarantee outcomes. What we do guarantee is expert guidance, honest feedback, and a thoughtful strategy tailored to your student. Our goal is to help students present their strongest, most authentic applications and make informed, confident decisions.

We use a combination of career assessments, guided conversations, and real-world exploration to help students gain clarity around their strengths, interests, values, and potential pathways. Choosing a major isn’t about picking the “perfect” answer—it’s about building self-awareness and flexibility.

Parents are essential partners. We help families understand timelines, expectations, and next steps while also empowering students to take ownership of their journey. Our approach supports healthy communication and shared decision-making throughout the process.

We help families understand the true cost of college, navigate financial aid forms like the FAFSA®, and evaluate award letters when they arrive. Our goal is to support families in making financially informed decisions that align with both educational goals and long-term financial well-being.

No. Test prep is an optional service. Some students benefit from structured SAT® or ACT® preparation, while others pursue test-optional pathways. We help families decide what makes the most sense based on each student’s goals and college list.

Do you work with athletes or students with busy schedules?

We regularly work with families entering the process later than planned. While earlier preparation offers more flexibility, we can help students prioritize, create a clear action plan, and move forward with confidence—no matter where they are starting.

Getting started is simple. Families can schedule an initial consultation through our website, and we’ll help determine the best next steps based on your student’s grade level, goals, and needs.
