Full Solution for Schools
Providing the highest level of support to your students and parents
Empowering students and optimizing resources - we are here to fill the gap in your university counseling program.
We understand the challenges that schools face in recruiting and retaining experienced university counselors. By partnering with GAP, schools eliminate the need for a full-time, on-campus university counselor while still providing high-quality university counseling services. This solution is particularly beneficial for schools with smaller graduating cohorts, limited resources, or recruitment challenges.
Our comprehensive curriculum includes a range of resources from informational and instructional video presentations, to personalized one-on-one online counseling sessions. Additionally, we offer online parent information sessions strategically throughout the university application process.
Furthermore, we have partnered with Maia Learning, a leading software package offering career and university research resources, and Concourse Global, an innovative admissions platform which shifts the traditional model by allowing universities to view students’ profiles and send them admissions offers, often including scholarships.
