Schedule of Service Offerings 

RZE College Counseling is designed to meet students and families wherever they are in the college planning process. Services are personalized, flexible, and grounded in the belief that students should thrive in high school and be well prepared for what comes next.

Freshman & Sophomore Year Services:

Beginning early allows us to build a balanced, intentional high school experience while avoiding many of the pressures that often arise later in the college planning process. My philosophy is rooted in helping students grow academically while still having the space to explore interests, build relationships, and enjoy high school.

RZE meets with students and parents to review and discuss:

  • Academic performance and long-term planning

  • Course selection and academic rigor

  • Extracurricular involvement and leadership development
