Education Management industry

July 1998 – Present (12 years 5 months)

In 1997, Admissions Academy innovated the integration of three key college preparatory services under one roof: independent college counseling, standardized test preparation, and academic tutoring. Our founders recognized a need within the community for a comprehensive college resource and strived to meet those needs by creating an organization based on quality and excellence in education.

Today, we have established ourselves as a community fixture, serving a diverse group of college bound teens. Our dedicated counselors and instructors work closely with each other and with our students to develop meaningful, supportive relationships as we guide students and parents on the path to higher education.
