Senior Sprint
Fall-semester support for a senior who is in the middle of it right now, built around college applications and the scholarship groundwork that follows.

Essay Review
Kelsey reads the essay against six dimensions and sends back written feedback, with a proofreading pass included. Essays up to 1,000 words, returned within five business days. This is feedback and coaching only. We do not write or rewrite a student’s essay.
Or buy the 3-essay bundle for $500. After checkout, email the essay to kelsey@foundationscholarship.com.
One-on-One Session
A single focused session on whatever is most pressing for your family right now, with a written follow-up plan afterward. Families use it for a transition plan that needs more than boilerplate, the eighteenth birthday, a dispute with the school, or a school evaluation they are not sure they agree with.
For an evaluation, Kim reviews the report against what federal and California law require, identifies what was and was not assessed and what the report does and does not document, and prepares you for the meeting with written requests and questions. This is an advocacy review, not a clinical one. The school psychologist who wrote the report is responsible for explaining your child’s scores at the meeting, and the session makes sure that explanation is complete and that you leave with what you need in writing.
2027 programs launch in January
Interest lists open at our fall workshops, or join the interest list online now.
Foundation Family
An annual membership for families who want steady guidance while their student’s interests are still taking shape: course selection, activities, and which opportunities are worth saying yes to. Pay $179 a month, or $1,999 for the year up front.
The membership year runs September through August. Founding members who join at the January 2027 launch are billed only for the months remaining through August 2027, and their first full September-through-August year begins in September 2027. Families who join at any other point in the year are handled the same way, with the monthly rate prorated from the month they join.
- A monthly parent session on Zoom, led by Kim
- A monthly Student Success Lab for students, hosted by Kelsey
- Office hours, and a recurring family challenge
- Three planning sessions a year: one before fall semester, one before spring semester, and one before summer
- Email access to Kim and Kelsey for quick questions in between
Everything runs through the summer months too, not only the school year.
CaT for Girls
Computing and technology courses taught live by Kelsey: Intro Python, Cybersecurity, Future-Proof: Using AI the Right Way, and Behind the Screen. Every course runs as two separate classes, one for 7th and 8th graders and one for grades 9 through 12, so the material fits the age in the room.
