Parents Resources

With so many different types of schools, grade requirements, A-G courses, extra-curriculars and more, the college admissions process can seem very overwhelming for parents who are looking to help their students get the information they need to stay on track to attend college. Even if they too attended college in the past, they are quickly realizing the process has become much longer and more complicated than before. For many parents, it can be challenging to know where to start, and we are here to help direct you to some helpful links that cover the basis of the admissions process!
