Earning admission to quality colleges and being thoroughly prepared for the post-secondary experience are goals that many high schoolers dream of achieving.

Our Aim
Students who lack information and a plan of action related to college preparation and admissions are at a significant disadvantage when the time comes to submit applications. At Woolfolk Works, we level the playing field by working with teenagers and their families to strategically approach each year of high school, navigate the college application process, and build competitive, high level college profiles. We help students discover their personal motivations, define a vision for their academic future, set specific goals to attain this vision, establish a plan to achieve each of these goals, and successfully implement the plan. We teach well-meaning parents and guardians how to assist their teens to be genuine learners and how to break bad habits that stifle individual ambition and academic success. We provide strategies to supplement work done in the classroom, and supply students with valuable tips for traversing the college application season. With the right approach, any student who desires to go to college can do so, and can meet their full potential during and after the admissions process.

Throughout the country, there are far too many high school students who:
- Are unaware of the admissions criteria that colleges utilize and the attributes that college admissions committees are looking for
- Do not know how to strategically navigate all four years of high school to build a strong college profile
- Do not know how to approach the college application and scholarship process
- Do not know how to properly determine their college major
- Are not adequately prepared for the rigors of the college experience
