Strategic Positioning

The core high-school years where leadership and academic
positioning are actively shaped.

Grades 9 and 10 are where identities form and narratives begin to crystallize. Strategic Positioning ensures every course, activity, and opportunity builds toward a cohesive, compelling story , one that elite universities recognize instantly.

Why
Grades 9–10
Matter Most

Junior year is when students execute. Freshman and sophomore year are when they decide who they are. Strategic Positioning ensures that when it comes time to write applications, your child isn’t scrambling to manufacture a story — because we’ve been building the real one since day one.
THREE AREAS OF FOCUS
I

Academic Architecture

We map every course selection, honors sequence, and AP decision to create an academic profile that signals genuine intellectual ambition — not just a transcript full of grades.

II

Identity & Narrative

We help students discover and articulate what makes them singular. Passion projects, leadership roles, and extracurricular choices are shaped to form a cohesive, authentic identity.

III

Competitive Positioning

Using deep knowledge of what selective universities value, we position your child against the applicant pool before they ever submit a word — building differentiation that can’t be fabricated last minute.

READY TO BEGIN

Grades 9–10 won’t
come around again.
