College

"Thanks to STA my daughter got accepted into an Ivy League college and is doing really well." - Mrs. J.

All participants are given the following guarantee:
If you don't learn one action step that will influence or change your behavior in our workshop, we will give you two hours of individual coaching for free.

The U.S. Department of Education estimates that the traditionally four year Bachelor's degree now usually takes six years. Co-ops and internships lengthen the process and require that the student handle even more responsibility and influences. Retention of students constitutes a further problem: statistics show that only 55% of freshmen entering a college degree program will finish that program. Lack of academic discipline, the failure to function independently away from parental guidance, and the lack of experience in balancing a heavier workload and the all-important investment in the college can all contribute to a rough beginning and potential poor performance. Your investment as parents is significant. You want to see your student excel. Students want to build a successful foundation for a career and enjoy what is for many the first real period of independence. This blending of education and social involvement is sometimes difficult to achieve. Among other topics, the Academic Success program addresses:

  • arrow Motivation and consistent performance
  • arrow The role of non-academic influences on education
  • arrow The importance of faculty mentoring
  • arrow Independence and assuming responsibility

When the Academic Success program is completed, the student will have experience with:

  • arrow Time management and time budgeting
  • arrow Making and keeping deadlines
  • arrow The importance of establishing a connection with the college
  • arrow Balancing the demands of an independent and social life with an academic career
  • arrow Making and evaluating goals and plans
  • arrow Working with faculty to make a path toward a career
  • arrow How to keep your degree plan on target
  • arrow The value of coaching as a continuing resource

After completion of the Academic Success program, your student will have learned:

  • arrow How to develop their own motivation to succeed
  • arrow How to develop better emotional control and insight
  • arrow How to cope with peer pressure
  • arrow How to communicate more effectively with parents and teachers
  • arrow How to prepare for college, both academically and interpersonally
  • arrow How to develop self-discipline
  • arrow How to manage time more effectively
  • arrow How to balance social and academic needs
