Our process
Unlike the others
We Explore. We Navigate. We Design.
At Journey, we view post high school planning and guidance through a financial lens.
Our Team guides families and students through their post high school planning process with career development, program research and then identify the education opportunities best suited for the student. Whether aligning with traditional college, technical, trade or professional programs; our goal is to guide you through the process, providing the tools you need to create the best path for student and family.
Times have changed. Regardless of your choice, the cost of schooling or training has increased dramatically, and we are here to help you navigate that process.
We will answer your questions and give you the facts while assessing your family's and student's unique needs, taking away the guessing, and saving you valuable time and money.
Each step matters to us!
We have a process that has been curated by our guides to make our Clients' feel encouraged in their journey.
Exploration
We start by learning all about you, your needs, and your goals. Whether searching for a certain college environment or a robust program, we are here to assess and evaluate those needs, goals and skills which align best for you.
Navigation
Once we understand your needs, we align you with careers to thoroughly evaluate and research. And when possible, we will pair you with professional mentors working in those careers, so you have opportunity to ask questions, begin networking and even develop a mentorship.
Design
Each client is an individual. There is no one size fits all. Everyone has a unique learning style, passion, and vision; therefore, we have created a program to achieve each student's goals! The program is built to be fluid to meet each student's priorities.
Each Client receives different experiences based on their individual needs

Programs
General Student Planning Programs offered
Core Plan Program - the complete package
The Core Program is just that. We start with understanding the student's and family's needs using a three-dimensional approach, discovering, navigating and designing. We accomplish this through research and guidance all the way through. From high school through college graduation. We have the capability to make adjustments within our program allowing for focus on the client's unique and individual needs. It's not just about getting in. It's also about getting out! And on a reasonable timeline.
Junior Program
The Junior Program is for eighth grade and freshman students. It is an opportunity for families to understand how to best utilize the high school experience when preparing for higher education opportunities. We discuss course planning as well as building a student's academic profile or resume.
**Fees from this program are applicable to the Core Program.
Senior Fast Track Program
Our Senior Fast Track Program is a condensed, fast paced timeline for high school seniors who have discovered they need a plan. We are able to help these clients get back on track while still reaching their higher ed goals; including career assessment, program research, and guidance throughout the application process.
College Program
This is for the college student and even soon to be college student as well as the student graduating who may be feeling lost or just out of place. Whether ready for transfer to another school, discovering a better career path, or a better suited degree, we help these students get back on course to reach their goals. A uniquely designed program based on where the client is and where they need to be. We assess career aspirations, and potential programs; helping them pivot in the right direction.
