Preparation is important. After all, every choice a high school student makes, from the classes they take to the activities that fill their summers will impact their college admissions process. Do you know how to guide them through this important journey?

If you are like most parents, you are probably a little overwhelmed by the college planning process. How many APs should my student take? When should they start preparing for standardized tests? How much community service should they have?  Stef Mauler, president of The Mauler Institute, and Shane Bybee, president of Bybee College Prep, are joining forces to simplify the college planning process and to answer all of your questions about how you can prepare your child for post-secondary success. “Graduates” of Parent University will leave the session with a strong understanding of:

• An overview of the college admissions landscape
• What colleges look for in successful candidates
• The components of the application process
• A timeline of important activities during each year of high school
• How to position your students for success, including course selection, extra-curricular plan, and standardized testing strategy
• How to select the right colleges for your student
• How to find and assess the right supplemental resources for your family

Parents will leave the session with a college planning binder filled with important tips, common mistakes, and templates to help you stay organized and confident through the college planning process. Parent University is best suited for parents of high school students, from rising 9^th through 12^th grades.
