For students and their parents, thinking about post-secondary options can be a very exciting time in their lives as they plan for the future. However, it can also be a very confusing and stressful time if you are unsure of what you want to study or your career direction. Even if you have focused on a particular area of study, trying to identify and evaluate post-secondary programs, options and admission requirements can be a complex and overwhelming process.
Pathways to Campus is here to help.
WHY HIRE AN EDUCATION CONSULTANT?
Insight, Clarity & Direction
We help identify post-secondary programs and careers that should be considered and explored based on one-on-one discussions with the student and psychological assessment tools that take into account the student's personality, interests, abilities and values.
Save Time - Expert Research of Program Options Done for You!
Many students and parents don't have the time to navigate the often stressful, time-consuming and increasingly complex process of identifying potential programs in an area of study. We do the research for you, providing a comprehensive list of programs to be considered and admission requirements for each. This provides peace of mind, knowing that all of the university or college programs of interest have been identified and thoroughly researched.
Personalized One-on-One Guidance, Advice and Support
In many Canadian high schools, the ratio of students to guidance counsellors means that there is minimal time for one-on-one interaction with students for in-depth academic counselling. Pathways to Campus can help bridge this gap. We work directly with students one-on-one, getting to know them, offering support and advice, and using assessments to ensure they are on the right academic path. Tailoring to the student's individualized needs, we help identify post-secondary programs and environments that are the best fit from an academic, social and emotional perspective.
Admissions Support
Pathways to Campus provides advice and guidance on applying to university/college programs and provides a clear understanding of the admissions process and next steps. This includes: application stages and deadlines; campus Open Houses and virtual tours; questions to ask at Open Houses, brainstorming for supplemental applications and essays.
An Investment in your Future
For a Canadian student, the average tuition, books and living expenses for an undergraduate program in Ontario can cost approximately $25-30K per year. Hiring an Education Consultant is a minimal investment to help ensure you are on the right academic path for you.
