The Competitive EDGE for Selective College Admissions
Personal Growth
Deeply investing in the personal growth of clients is one aspect that makes The Ivy Edge distinctly different from independent education consulting firms. The work of The Ivy Edge leverages the founder’s background as a certified professional coach. Successful coaches invest deeply in the personal growth of their clients. They do this by creating trust in the relationship through direct and honest conversations, while encouraging clients to find their own unique answers, and holding them accountable to the goals clients set for themselves.
Creating a safe environment that allows students to bring their full selves to the engagement is also an important aspect of the work of The Ivy Edge. Also central to the work is to closely monitor the emotional and mental health of students during the course of the engagement with "check-in" sessions. If any signs of declining mental and/or emotional health in a student are detected, parents are alerted and discussions are held to plan next steps for the short- and long-term health of the engagement.
Focusing on the personal growth of Ivy Edge clients is also crucial to the college application process itself. Many of the essay questions to selective institutions are highly personal in nature. They require students to look at themselves on a deep level in order to craft compelling responses. The personal nature of the work of The Ivy Edge—and the focus on personal growth--lays the groundwork for students to be able to engage the application process with confidence, knowing that they will have full support all along the way.
