Storyboards Helps Schools Provide College Application Support To Help Your Students Share Their Story
We're rethinking support for high schools by providing a holistic, integrated solution to reduce stress for your students and faculty
College admissions has changed dramatically, with the introduction of "test optional" admissions and the Supreme Court issuing specific rules about the content of the college application.
We can lighten your workload and help you make a real impact in their lives! The Storyboards College Application curriculum is designed to be integrated into your colleges admissions program even, during your school's flextime schedule. The self-guided platform helps students create their applications materials.
We didn’t forget your faculty and staff. We support professional development that ensures students and faculty are working towards a common goal, creating a holistic admission portfolio that tells your students’ story.
For Schools
Our decades of college admission experience has instilled in us a simple belief:
Students can be taught how to
create great holistic applications
We developed the Storyboards College Application curriculum for students to create the entire college application as the story of why they are the perfect fit for their target schools. This methodology of connection is exactly how the Supreme Court says colleges have to read applications, and we can help you help your students do exactly that.
This will maximize your scarce 1:1 time and give your students the guidance they need to compete.
For Students
The college admission process is stressful.
We explain each piece of the application, with specific instructions, models, and checklists. Our platform will helps students turn their application into a compelling narrative: Why they are the perfect fit for their target schools.
How do you highlight your accomplishments?
How do you stand out against your peers?
How do you ask for a letter of recommendation that sets you apart?
The Storyboards platform walks students through each step of the process and provides clear, easy to follow guidance on how to pull everything together.
What is Storyboards?
An Admissions Dream Team
We developed Storyboards based on our decades of experience, both inside the admissions office and the high school classroom. Our approach demystifies the college application, with practical guidance so students understand exactly what to do–and counselors understand how to guide them.
So you're in good hands.
