Make Every Year of High School Count
The college process has already begun. Learn what to do in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade so your kid can have their pick of excellent schools by being true to themselves.
On Tuesday, July 21st at 5:30pm ET, learn how to:
✔ Focus strategically on what colleges care about today
✔ Do the right things, in the right order, with the right effort
✔ Get your kid on board, even if right now they’re tuning you out
Be there live to get expert advice on your kid’s extracurriculars,
class choices, testing, and college list.
Most parents spend high school either worried they’re already behind — or underestimating how fast the window closes.
That’s because nobody gives them a year-by-year roadmap
of what it takes to have your pick of excellent colleges.
But that’s exactly what you’re getting in this masterclass.
With a birds-eye-view of what matters, you’ll know what being on track really looks like.
You’ll never panic when you hear what other kids are doing…
Because you’re confident your child is taking the right steps in the right order to stand out as their best selves.
When they do that, the question won’t be whether your kid gets in.
It’ll be where they decide to go.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
✔ What selective colleges are actually looking for today — and how it’s changed since you applied
✔ The year-by-year breakdown: what to prioritize in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade so nothing falls through the cracks
✔ The Match Pyramid Framework for building a strengths-based college strategy so you have your pick of excellent schools
✔ How to get your teen engaged and moving without every conversation turning into a battle
✔ The Signet milestone system: the project plan that keeps everything on track without you having to micromanage every step
Who’s leading this class?
Sheila Akbar, PhD — President & CEO of Signet Education
Sheila has guided hundreds of families through the college admissions process. She knows how selective colleges actually make decisions — and how to translate that into a strategy that works for real teens, including the ones who are dragging their feet.
Andrea West — Director of Client Success & Executive Function Coach
Andrea is the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. As the architect of Signet’s year-by-year milestone system, she’ll walk you through exactly what needs to happen — and when — so you’re never scrambling, never behind, and never wondering if your kid is on track.
Summer is the best time to get a birds-eye view — and here’s why.
During the school year, there’s no space to zoom out. You’re putting out fires, your kid is buried in homework, and college planning gets pushed to the back burner again.
But right now, you have time to think. Time to get the full picture before September takes over.
The families who move through this process calmly — with kids who are genuinely excited about where they’re going — didn’t do more than everyone else. They just had a clear plan from the beginning.
This class will set you up to be that family.
Designed for parents of rising 9th, 10th, and 11th graders. The earlier you have this roadmap, the more you can do with it.
