Knowledge College Planning
Knowledge College Planning believes that when you fail to plan, you plan to fail – for college admission that is. KCP was founded out of Academic Crossroads, a company created in 1997. During this time, college planning workshops were conducted workshops throughout the state of Georgia to middle school students and their families. The discovery was that students were reaching their junior and senior year of high school not prepared for college admissions. Soon after, Knowledge College Planning was created to extend the information to middle school students and their parents. Over the years we have presented workshops for thousands of students.
Philosophy
Knowledge College Planning is designed to establish early interest, positive thought and clear understanding of the college admission process for both the student and their parents.
Early interest
Providing information about college in the 8th grade when it is less intimidating and allowing the student to find an interest in a major or post-secondary school.
Positive Thought
Finding that interest the student then acquires an “I Can” attitude and searches for ways to meet their goal.
Clear Understanding
Once the student creates the “I Can” attitude then it is up to the student support system (Parents, guardians, schools) to help them understand what is required to succeed.
Mission
The Y Think College Program mission is to deliver a clear and structured college plan to all students. This plan will help them make an informed decision about the college they can and should attend. We believe all students can attend college, whether it be a Technical College, Community College, Four-year college or Research University, there are options for every student.
Vision
To provide college planning strategies to families that will assist with increasing the college graduation rate for all students.
