Traditional & Non-Traditional Sports at all Competitive Levels
Our student athletes often end up, to name a few, among the elite Division I Ivy or Patriot League colleges, competitive Division II and III ECAC programs, and the top Division III colleges in the NESCAC and Centennial Leagues.
Passion for Sport and Commitment to Academic Excellence
While the academic goals remain primary for our college candidates, many recognize that athletics is more than an extra-curricular activity. Sports are instead central to their identity and their ability to excel academically. We bring a unique understanding of the role of sport in the student’s life and in the increasingly complex college planning process.
