Tri-Annual Courses

Inside information is now available in our Tri-Annual live, online courses. Join course creator and sought-out speaker, Jean Burk, three times a year: summer, fall, and winter for timely conversations to help keep your students on track on their journey to college. These 90-minute speeches are only available through pre-registration.  Sessions will be divided into 9th/10th grade and 11th/12 grade although parents of any aged student are welcome to register and attend.  Each course will come with detailed worksheets to help parents walk away with clear guidance to set up their students for success. 


These courses are applicable to all school students: public, private, or homeschooled.   Specific information will be shared for each grade.
