College Guidance
At Kallege we are deeply committed to creating and sustaining culturally responsive, academically rigorous and inclusive yet competitive college-going culture for all students regardless of their life circumstances. The work that we do celebrates and acknowledges student’s academic achievement while promoting, contextualizing and giving students the tools necessary to share the pursuit of their passions and extracurricular activities in a multifaceted way. We do not just strive to make a connection with each individual student, but we are committed to getting to know every student in and out; understanding their strengths, what makes them unique and what makes them special. We foster students and teach them how to convey these qualities to others so that we can show the world what makes them great.
We get to know students and families through exploring all of the different opportunities that exist for them post-secondary life through meeting with student’s as needed on a one-on-one basis, evaluating transcripts, contextualizing school profiles, analyzing progress reports, digesting curriculum guides, watching performances/sporting events, reading their essays and so much more. At Kallege we believe that by providing personal and individualized guidance through the college admission process no matter if you are in the 9th grade or 12th grade. We help students develop and understand themselves as humans, academics, global citizens and ethical leaders so that they can truly have a sense of self and a sense of place so that they can share their gifts with others. We provide students with one-on-one college counseling, academic advising and extracurricular guidance through students' time in high school and throughout the entirety of the college admissions process. We serve as your advocate and specialist in education no matter the situation in your high school career, whether it is equipping you with the right tools so that you can get your advanced coursework or helping you manage adversity due to unjust consequences, we are here to help!
In partnership, we seek to create realistic goals and robust college lists as well as give them the tools necessary so that they can take advantage of every opportunity that their school community and resources offer.
We are committed to student success as defined by them and their families. We will offer the most thorough guidance based on enrollment strategy, data, networking and student interest to all throughout the process of understanding their academic interests to understand what institutions would be academic fits as well as understanding who these students truly are so that we may offer what colleges would also be a perfect “fit”.
