Twelfth Grade Services
Classic City Educational Consultants will enroll a limited number of 12th grade students.
An assessment to understand the student’s educational background, experiences and previous college planning will determine whether the student and CCEC will be a good match to successfully create and implement an application plan.
The student must be interested in and willing to dedicate the time to follow the guidance of the CCEC consultant in order to have a successful college search and application process.
By beginning our relationship in the summer before the 12th grade, we can quickly understand the student’s academic and extracurricular history; then planning the steps to create a competitive advantage in the application process.
Here is an example of the interactions we propose for each student:
Zoom will be our primary method of communication, but we are happy to meet in person in the Athens area.
