Every year, families ask the same question: Which summer programs will actually help with college admissions?

In this free webinar, we’ll cut through the noise and focus on what matters most. We’ll explain why summer experiences matter, what colleges value most, and how different options—pre-college programs, on-campus summer programs, online classes, internships, jobs, volunteering, and independent projects—actually show up in your student’s application. We’ll also look at how colleges really evaluate these experiences and how to build a summer plan that develops confidence, independence, and genuine admissions impact.

Is your student taking AP courses this year? These classes move quickly, cover more material, and require a new level of academic discipline—even for strong students. Success starts with knowing what to expect and how to prepare.
