Experienced College Advisor

Foundations Advising for Grades 6 & 7

Middle school is a time where students foster their curiosity, build skills, and develop habits that will set them up for success later in life. College and career goals may seem like a faraway thought. However, with the increasingly competitive landscape of college admissions, choices made in middle school can affect high school and even college outcomes.

Infinite Futures provides flexible and affordable packages for families with students in grades 6 and 7. We aim to provide genuine mentorship, help families navigate important decisions, and facilitate the space for a young student to grow and develop. 

Our Readiness Meeting Package is designed for students in grade 6 through 8. Families will meet with a College Advisor for three 60-minute discussions covering academics, activities, and the transition to high school. These meetings have a specialized curriculum built to support students joining Infinite Futures prior to high school. 

How We Support Students in Grades 6 & 7

Study Skills & Habits

Introduce students to lower stakes opportunities that can translate to success in high school as well as the college application activity list.

Interests & Activities Exploration

Build routines around organization, time management, and consistent follow-through so students can handle progressively harder work with confidence.
