The College Blueprint, LLC, offers a comprehensive career and college guidance program for public and private institutions. From career exploration to academic skill building, from test prep to college admissions, we have considerable expertise and experience with all aspects of the college preparation process. We offer a breadth of services from which we can design a program customized to a school’s specific goals and needs. We are known for our innovative programs which we custom design to meet the needs for each school system.

After discussing and gaining an understanding of the institution’s goals, we work with school administrators and/or their designees, to design a school-specific program. After agreeing on program components, outcomes, deliverables and timing, we will implement and manage all aspects of the program.

"We are so fortunate that you (College Blueprint) have partnered with us to support our students. The results of the SAT prep program were outstanding."

OUR SERVICES

Just as every student is different and unique, so is every school or school district. Therefore, every program is uniquely designed and may include components from both group and student services. For example, a school might ask for a lecture series while also contracting with us to provide individualized counseling for their high school students. Additionally, another school may ask for a career exploration class from which the student may earn high school credit.
