— WHAT WE DO TOGETHER —

Our College Guidance Services

Your student’s school has a college guidance counselor. At public schools, that counselor is managing hundreds of students at once. At private schools, the ratio is better, but still around 30 to 1. That means limited time, limited attention, and a process that often begins too late.

At League Bound, every student works one-on-one with a dedicated consultant from 9th grade through decision day. We are not filling out forms. We are building something: a profile, a set of experiences, a voice that makes the application feel inevitable by the time it is written.

The Breakdown

Two Programs, One Pathway

We split the work into two programs: College Guidance, for grades 7 through 11, and College Applications, for grades 11 to 12.
