At StoutHeart, our college counseling and future planning programs give students at any stage of their secondary education the greatest advantage as they endeavor to gain admission into the perfect-fit college of their dreams.

No matter the grade, I work one-on-one with young people every day and help them identify what they love about learning, what they want out of their college career, and what weaknesses can be strengthened in preparation for their college applications. Together, we’ll forge a path to that perfect place — where you belong.

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
— Henry David Thoreau
