Why Choose Us?

We want to see you succeed!

Apogee College Prep provides personalized, quality coaching to students applying for admission to college, graduate school, and professional programs. As the college application process becomes increasingly complex and competitive, a need has emerged for specialized guidance to make the process more manageable and successful. At the same time, this has exacerbated issues of equity and access to quality higher education, which is why we are committed to meeting students and families where they are regardless of socioeconomic status.

See what our parents and students are saying...

"Terri really knows how to connect with teenagers and bring out the best in them. She truly likes them and enjoys working with them...it shows in how they relate to one another. She has an in-depth knowledge of the college application process, a passion and aptitude for essay coaching, and a talent for matching students with their best college choices."
