Each academic change and transition has unique challenges for students, especially when going to a new school. The common denominator for success throughout all grades is a growth mindset and genuine curiosity about the material.
Developing a growth mindset and having a positive association with learning is crucial during elementary school.
As students gain more independence, they begin to narrow their interests and social groups.
College applications include all high school grades, so the stakes are raised. Time management and study skills begin to significantly pay off during this period.
During this time, students use their study skills and problem solving skills to create their own ideal college experience to prepare them for careers geared towards their own interests.
