College Admissions for 9th & 10th Graders

December 2, 2026 | 8:00 pm EST

About this webinar

How early is too early to start thinking about college admissions? For families of 9th and 10th graders, the challenge is often knowing what deserves attention now and what can safely wait. This session will separate meaningful early planning from unnecessary pressure and give families a clearer roadmap for the first half of high school.

Families will learn:

  • What matters most academically in Grades 9 and 10
  • How students should approach extracurricular activities and developing interests
  • When testing and college research should begin
  • What families don’t need to worry about yet
  • How to build a strong foundation for junior and senior year
