College Counseling
From the college search through matriculation, Hoven Educational Consulting employs a need-specific curriculum designed to give the student ownership from beginning to end. We will empower your student to develop their own search criteria, and aid in the building of a comprehensive college list. In the end, the goal is to build desirable options for the student’s academic path.
Counseling can be purchased as a full package from 11th grade through Graduation or a la carte on a session by session basis. With packages comes greater access as well as multiple revisions per application. Please contact Hoven Educational Consulting for further information and fees.
