Experienced College Advisor

Personalized Advising for Grades 8–11

Our Foundations and Comprehensive Packages are designed to help students in grades 8 through 11 discover their interests inside and outside of the classroom, develop skills for future careers, and build positive habits through a data-and experience-based curriculum. Ultimately, the goal of our program is to prepare students for life beyond high school while meeting them where they are academically and socially.

The Infinite Futures team specializes in supporting families through the college and career readiness journey. During their time with Infinite Futures, students and families can expect consistent and long-term mentorship as well as highly individualized support. Students will move through a personalized, progressive curriculum within the MaiaLearning platform that consistently focuses on study skills coaching, habit building, academic support, and writing preparation. As students move closer to the application timeline, our team prioritizes college list-building, resume creation, and essay development.

Families will also have rare access to the full-time Former Admissions Officer team at Infinite Futures. Our FAOs offer an insider’s view of how top colleges make decisions. After reading applications for Ivy League, highly selective, and University of California institutions, they know firsthand what makes an application rise to the top (and what can hold a student back). Using our proprietary Preparedness Rubric, FAOs and College Advisors regularly review student strategy and provide tangible recommendations for families.
