Our mission is to empower students, serve families, and inspire greatness. We know that applying to college can be overwhelming, which is why we strive to make this process enjoyable for families. We navigate the complex, multi-year process by working one-on-one with students as early as their freshman year of high school. But it’s not just about getting into college. At the core of everything we do is a passion for helping young people find their future.
Class 101 Southwest Missouri has college planning experts who love helping students on the path to higher education. We all became a part of the Class 101 family because we want to make a difference in a young person’s life. Our various backgrounds aid us in doing this. Get to know each member of our team.

Class 101 was an exceptional program for my boys. It gave them the tools they needed to take the lead in the college prep, application, and decision-making process. By them taking the lead in the process, they ended up in colleges that were the best fit for them!

We cannot thank Laurie at Class 101 enough for the incredible support she provided our daughter throughout the college application process. What started as an overwhelming and confusing journey quickly turned into a focused and manageable experience, all thanks to Laurie’s guidance.
From organizing college applications to helping with ACT prep and improving our daughter’s score, Laurie was there every step of the way. She brought clarity and structure to a process that often feels chaotic, and she did it with patience, insight, and genuine care.
Thanks to Laurie’s support, our daughter was accepted into every college she applied to. Laurie turned what could have been an extremely stressful few months into a series of manageable steps and real accomplishments.
We are so grateful for her dedication and highly recommend Class 101 to any family navigating the college admissions process.
