This recent Wall Street Journal article, “Surveillance Parents Face the Ultimate Firewall: Freshman Year” highlights the need for it: “Universities are grappling with today’s hyper-connected reality. Now 44% of parents interact daily with their kids at college, up from 37% in 2023, according to polls by CampusESP, a platform to help colleges boost parent engagement. “Long gone are the days of college students checking in with parents on a weekly or less frequent schedule,” Duquesne University’s marketing team declared in a 2023 report about relating to “your parent audience.”” https://lnkd.in/eAje_gHn #CollegeBound #StudentIndependence #FreshmanYear #HelicopterParenting

Beyond College: College is more than just classes—it’s preparation for life. Our team helps students use their college experience as a transition to a successful, independent future.

The Science Behind Success: At Focus Collegiate, we use Intentional Change Theory, an evidence-based framework that helps students set goals, identify strengths, and create learning agendas for success.

Small but Mighty: With only 4 teams serving ~65 students during the year, our low student-to-staff ratio means personalized attention for every student.

Our Philosophy: Focus Collegiate provides an unbounded support model for college students. From academic coaching to life skills like sleep hygiene and time management, we help students navigate the transition to independence.

College readiness is for parents, too. Parents of high school juniors can help their student and themselves get ready for the big transition to college by encouraging their student take on leadership roles in clubs, sports, or community service.
