“The High School Prep Course at OPEN EDvantage is absolutely worth every minute and every penny! This program is a must for any family with an incoming freshman. It not only sets students up for success but also equips parents with invaluable tools and insights for supporting their child through this critical transition.

The course is designed with students in mind, focusing on essential skills like organization, executive functioning, and time management. Our child came away feeling more prepared and confident to tackle the demands of high school. But what really impressed us was the parent session. It wasn’t just an overview—it gave us a clear plan to support our child effectively. They provided tips and tricks to navigate time management, understand high school expectations, and even start thinking ahead about college planning.

The information we received has been so helpful, both in reducing the stress of this new chapter and in giving us a road map for what’s ahead. The team at OPEN EDvantage is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, making the entire experience not just informative but also empowering.

If you want to help your child start high school on the right foot—and feel prepared yourself as a parent—this class is an absolute must!”
