Our mission is to empower students, serve families, and inspire greatness. We know that applying to college can be overwhelming, which is why we strive to make this process enjoyable for families. We navigate the complex, multi-year process by working one-on-one with students as early as their freshman year of high school. But it’s not just about getting into college. At the core of everything we do is a passion for helping young people find their future.

We all became a part of the Class 101 family because we want to make a difference in a young person’s life. Our various backgrounds aid us in doing this. Get to know each member of our team.

Laurie has helped me succeed by implementing meetings to assist me with my college needs. I have attended multiple ACT workshops that have increased my score, and been assisted with writing essays by multiple people. Class 101 has prepared me to succeed at my chosen college, and improved my opportunities along the way. This is what I will continue to recommend to every incoming senior!!

Class 101 was an essential part of our daughter’s success in college prep. Laurie was so beneficial in getting us prepared for all things college-ei., ACT prep, college tours, scholarships, and early action admission, these are just a few of the benefits of Class 101. Because of Laurie’s attention to detail and my daughter’s hard work she is going to her dream college! Thank you Laurie and Class 101 for making Avery’s dream a reality.

Parent Testimonial
I’ve always had great experiences at the Class 101 in Southwest Mo! Laurie was always very helpful and made sure I reached my goals in a timely fashion. Without the help of Class 101, I would have been completely lost in the college planning process and I doubt I would have ended up at the school I will be attending in the fall.
