School Partnerships
Helping Schools Build Clarity and Confidence in Every Student
Most schools want to help students choose wisely — but counselors are stretched thin, and families often make decisions without the full picture.
That’s where The Grad Plan™ comes in.
We partner with high schools to deliver science-backed college and career readiness programs that build student confidence, support counselors, and strengthen outcomes — without adding to your workload.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Grad Plan™ is a personalized roadmap designed to help students choose the right major, college, and career path — before day one. It’s built around our proprietary PATHS™ Framework and delivered through a mix of 1-on-1 coaching, group sessions, and independent workbook materials. The result: decisions that feel clear, confident, and grounded in real data — not guesswork.
-
PATHS™ stands for Passions, Abilities, Trends, Habits, and Story — the five key ingredients every student needs to make smart, self-aware decisions. It’s the foundation of everything we do, helping students connect who they are with where they’re headed.
-
Most of our students are heading to college, but not all. We also support students exploring trade schools, gap years, apprenticeships, and entrepreneurial paths. The goal is the same for everyone: clarity, confidence, and a plan that fits both who you are and the life you want to build.
-
Funny enough — that was our original idea.
We tested it. A lot.And here’s what we learned: AI is great at affirming whatever you already think. It can tell you what’s out there, but it can’t challenge your assumptions, listen between the lines, or help you sort through real fears and trade-offs. That’s where humans come in.
Our best results come from conversation — guided reflection, live coaching, and tools that make you think in new ways. The Grad Plan™ blends the best of both worlds: smart digital tools plus genuine human insight.
