Our Philosophy
At College Calm, we love getting to know our students, listening to their stories, learning what motivates them, and helping them find their voice. Over the last 12 years, we have honed and crafted the most effective and thoughtful way to move through all aspects of the college process. We consider it our job to reduce the stress and confusion students and families feel during the college application process.
We do not view high school and the college process as a means to an end, but rather a time when students can learn about their academic interests and personal assets and build both skills and confidence. Our personalized approach creates a comfortable environment where we focus on student’s strengths, validate their experiences, and build their capacity to calmly and effectively complete their college applications.

Early High School Essentials
college Counseling PACKAGE
The College Counseling Package, our most comprehensive program, kicks off at the end of sophomore year and includes up to 30 hours with a counselor. In the beginning of sophomore summer, we help students set their college priorities and investigate major preferences. Then we create an initial college list, outline a testing strategy, and examine summer and extracurricular options.
Throughout junior year, we cover topics including, but not limited to course selection, extracurricular and community service activities, summer programs, college investigations and research, balanced college list, standardized testing, application timelines, resumes, interviews, college visits, essays, and total application review.
The package includes all of our original content, subscriptions to essential resources, optional group work sessions, and comprehensive essay review by two counselors. The package includes 30 hours of individual counseling/email/essay editing. Schedule your initial phone call to learn more.
Summer Synergy PRoject
On a college application, students need to be able to tell their story, and the SSP works with high school students to develop their story. We have taken everything we have learned is important to student success in our college counseling practice—understanding personal strengths, developing interests, taking an initiative, collaborating with mentors, and finding purpose, and created a dynamic summer curriculum for high school students. The Summer Synergy Project (SSP) is a flexible personalized experience where students work with a coach to create a meaningful project over the summer. Appropriate for students of any grade and can be added to the comprehensive package at a reduced cost.
INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS
Our workshops are designed with the completion of tangible goals in mind. Each workshop is 3 hours and includes instruction by our experienced staff, activities to support student reflection, one-on-one meetings with a counselor, and work time to reinforce learning and produce results. The workshops are packed with checklists, timelines, essential resources, and proprietary College Calm materials. There are 5 workshops in the series covering all the topics juniors need to tackle the college application process.
HOURLY ADVICE AND PLANNING
A calm launch to college
The goal of a Calm Launch to College is to support first-year students in planning and navigating their transition into college. The first year of college can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be if you have a trusted advisor to help you develop a plan and make thoughtful decisions based on your goals. The Launch curriculum covers planning and managing your schedule, getting involved on campus, developing your academic interests, and building meaningful connections with peers and professors. Jenny’s personalized coaching helps students adjust to a new college culture both socially & academically. Students will learn to advocate for themselves, be confident in their decisions, and take advantage of opportunities.
