How we work together

The Annabella Method

Five stages that follow the rhythm of high school. The student owns each decision; I make sure it's an informed one.

i.

Grades 9–10

Discover

Conversations and a Myers-Briggs assessment, led by me as a certified practitioner, to understand interests, strengths and what the family values.

ii.

Grades 10–11

Plan

A written roadmap for courses, testing, activities and summers.

iii.

Grade 11

Develop

A passion project, leadership and a balanced college list built on fit.

iv.

Summer to fall, Grade 12

Apply

Essays in the student's voice and a calm calendar from November early rounds to January deadlines.

v.

Spring, Grade 12

Decide

Comparing offers and aid side by side before the May 1 deadline.
