The goal of Lumiry Educational Consulting is to help your child find the best university fit for his or her academic goals as well as his or her personality. To accomplish this goal, it’s important to start thinking about university well before Senior year of high school. The student’s course selection, grades, and high school activities all play a role in the university admissions process. Our educational consultant can help ensure your student is making choices and course selections early in their high school career that support the end goal of gaining admittance to the university of their choice.
Lumiry offers several university consulting packages that are designed to provide you with your choice of tailored services, depending on your student’s age.
