Where Our Students Have Been Accepted
Building Prepared Students for Academic Success
The journey to college is more than applications. It's about discovering who you are, what you're passionate about, and where you'll thrive. At The Paratum Scholars, we take a holistic approach that goes beyond test scores and GPAs.
Our experienced college counselors work one-on-one with students to identify their unique strengths, explore career pathways, and build the skills they need for college and beyond. We don't just help students get into college. We help them become prepared scholars, ready to succeed.
How Families Work With Us
Every family's situation is different. We meet you where you are.
Our Core Offering: 1:1 College Counseling
Ongoing, personalized support that brings clarity, organization, and steady guidance throughout the college journey. Parents gain reassurance knowing their student has a trusted guide and that decisions are being made intentionally, not reactively.
Aptitude & Strengths Insight
We use the Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) to help individuals understand natural abilities and problem-solving styles, recognize how they learn and process information, and make more grounded decisions about academics, majors, and future paths. The HAB can be used as a stand-alone service or integrated into ongoing advising.
College-Bound Student-Athletes
We are there every step of the way to educate, guide, and support students, and their families, who strive to play their sport beyond high school; helping them understand the recruiting landscape, become their own agent, communicate strategically with coaches, and develop the mindset to thrive beyond game day.
What Families Say
Hear from the students and families we've helped on their college journey.
“Meeting Chuck marked one of the significant turning points in my academic career. He helped me earn a spot at UCLA, UC Berkeley, and multiple full-ride scholarships. Chuck still stands out as one of the best mentors I have ever had.”
“I came away inspired and feeling it was well worth it. Chuck explained my aptitude results in a way that made them easy to relate to my experiences. I sincerely recommend Chuck to anyone who wants to find the most personalized and effective way to grow.”
“What really stood out was his ability to meet students exactly where they are. He helped us think not just about where my sister could get in, but where she would genuinely thrive. Academically, socially, and personally.”
