Before Class 101, when it came to anything college or ACT related, I was clueless. I had no idea how to apply for college or where to start in prepping for the ACT. From the moment I met with Stacy and Rennie, it all began to make sense. They mapped out potential colleges for me and took me step-by-step through videos, textbooks, and worksheets that would help me on the ACT. When it came time to apply for schools, they worked with me on how to best present myself on applications and opened my eyes to amazing scholarship opportunities. I get to attend one of my dream schools because of their help and could not have done it all without them!”

Class 101 was the best decision I could have ever made! They invested their time, effort and entire heart into making my future plans a reality. One of the most valuable parts of the program was the essay writing workshop. Stacy and Rennie inspired me to write a truly personal and unique essay; one in which I had to dig down deep to construct. It was their support and encouragement that allowed me to tell my story through my writing. I will be forever grateful for their expertise and guidance! Class 101 is more than a college planning program; Class 101 is a family that will be there for you every step of the way.
