At Class 101, we empower students, serve families and inspire greatness. This means it’s not just about getting into college, but helping students find their future. We utilize personality and career assessment tools to help students gain a deeper awareness of their likes, interests and strengths. This not only helps to align students’ personal interests and priorities with the admissions process, but helps them think critically about decisions that can positively impact their future.
