10th Grade
At Study Smarter, we believe that intentional, age-appropriate support in the early high school years helps students make confident, informed decisions later in the college application process. Here's what families can expect from our college consulting services:
What we focus on:
Identifying strengths and preferences
Matching academic and extracurricular choices to emerging goals
Beginning informal conversations about college fit
How We Support:
Academic and interest-based assessments to identify possible major areas
Strategic review of extracurriculars: depth over quantity
Early conversations about what different types of colleges offer
Beginning to strategize about PSAT/ACT/SAT planning
This is when students begin to refine their goals and direction with more intention, while still keeping doors open.
Why Start Early?
Early guidance helps reduce stress, foster motivation, and give students a sense of control over their journey. While we don’t rush the process, we do help students make decisions they won’t regret later.
We offer one-on-one consultations for families at any grade level. Contact Study Smarter to discuss how we can support your student’s growth—whether you're just starting out or preparing for applications.
