Educational Avenues provides a full complement of educational, choices, options and solutions for parents and their children, as well as young adults and those seeking to change careers later in life.
College Placement:
Our goal with college placement is to produce a set of options for students and parents that will optimize the student’s potential for success as well as nurture and cultivate their passions in such a manner that will enable them to earn a living doing something they love.
We have a unique and comprehensive process that allows families to choose the right school, optimizing the potential to graduate on time affordably.
Boarding School Placement:
Placement of a child in a boarding school situation may occur for a variety of reasons . We have extensive experience in helping young people who need the more intimate setting these schools provide and have seen students blossom academically, socially and athletically. Our boarding placement process, while similar to our college placement process is geared toward the younger child with a focus on remediation of problem areas and enhancement of existing talents.
Learning Difference Solutions:
A child with learning difficulties often has to deal with significant pain as they move through the standard educational process. We have worked with many children that have issues related to dyslexia, non-verbal learning issues, ADD/ADHD, or information processing issues. We work closely with parents to get a proper diagnosis of the child’s problem areas and then provide customized educational options that will serve to remediate or accommodate the child's learning differences.
Special Needs Solutions
Today our children are faced with a very complex world: they are “growing up” too soon. In a world where they are exposed to drugs, violence, sex and reality TV in ways that glorify them, there is little wonder that many children find themselves in serious trouble. We work closely with families to offer a continuum of solutions— from dealing with a crisis situation requiring immediate intervention or hospitalization to a step by step roadmap covering a number of programs/placements over many months. We provide customized placement options that can help turn a child around and help the child/parent relationships heal.
Career Planning
How should I spend the rest of my life? This is a big question with few clear-cut answers. We do extensive career and vocational planning with our students and adult clients to help them find or prepare for a vocation that matches their passions and desired lifestyle. Let us help you find your passion with an educational and vocational plan that can meet with success in today’s difficult job market.
International Student Placement
We have extensive experience placing students from abroad in US and Canadian boarding schools and colleges. Our clients have come from all over the world including, Japan, Turkey, Spain, Italy, and Russia. We keep current with today’s immigration and school requirements for international admissions and maintain a focus on the student’s safety in a post –September 11 world. Whether a child wishes to improve their ability to speak English, learn to thrive in a new and different culture, or gain unique educational, athletic or artistic experiences, we can find a match that optimizes a families goals for an international educational experience for their child.
Financial Aid
Next to the home mortgage, the funding of a child's education may be the single biggest financial obligation the family may encounter. We help families understand ways to find a great school or program that fits their student's needs but is still affordable. Families must know their budget and their own realistic definition of need in order to better plan for payment of their family’s anticipated educational expenses. This information helps families better understand and compare the financial aid awards that various school or programs will offer the student upon acceptance. We provide comprehensive help with evaluating the price and value of the education for the student.
