The path to college acceptance starts earlier than many families realize. While it might seem premature to consider college prep in middle school, building a strong academic foundation now can set students up for long-term success. Whether your child is in a self-paced online school, a traditional classroom, or a hybrid learning environment, understanding the evolving admissions landscape is key.

That’s why our accredited K-12 learning community recently hosted Understanding College Admissions in 2025: Guidance for Middle School Parents. This expert-led webinar explored the latest trends in college admissions, smart course selection strategies, and how to balance academics with extracurriculars—all to help families navigate this journey with confidence.

If you missed the live event, don’t worry! You can still access these invaluable insights. Watch the full recording here to learn how to position your child for success in high school and beyond.
