LAUNCHPAD: Your College Game Plan™
College planning shouldn’t begin when it’s time to apply.
LaunchPad is an interactive, self-paced college planning experience that helps students understand what matters during high school—and how the decisions they make now can shape their college options later.
Instead of piecing together scattered advice, students build a clearer understanding of the college landscape and begin creating an intentional plan for what comes next.
Through LaunchPad, students explore:
🧭 The College Landscape — Understand how colleges differ and begin thinking beyond rankings and name recognition.
📚 Academic Planning — See how course choices, rigor, grades, and academic momentum can influence future options.
🎯 Activities with Purpose — Think intentionally about extracurricular activities, leadership, interests, and meaningful involvement.
🏫 College Fit — Explore the academic, personal, financial, and environmental factors that can make a college a strong fit.
📝 Admissions — Understand what colleges may consider and how different parts of a student's high school experience come together.
📊 Testing Strategy — Learn where standardized testing may fit into the larger college planning picture.
💰 College Affordability — Begin understanding cost, financial aid, scholarships, and why affordability belongs in the conversation early.
🚀 Building Momentum — Turn what they learn into purposeful next steps they can continue developing throughout high school.
LaunchPad isn't about choosing the perfect college today.
It's about helping students understand the landscape early enough to make informed decisions, protect their options, and build a college plan with purpose.
💻 Interactive + Self-Paced
Students can access LaunchPad on their computer or download the app on Apple or Android, giving them a college-planning experience they can return to as their plans develop.

🧭 Still Exploring Their Direction?
College planning is more meaningful when students have a clearer understanding of who they are, what interests them, and where they may be headed.
If your student is still exploring those questions, you can pair LaunchPad: Your College Game Plan with PathFinder: Discover Your Direction™.
PathFinder gives students a structured, interactive way to explore their strengths, interests, values, and potential education and career pathways—without expecting them to have already figured out their future.
PathFinder → Discover your direction.
LaunchPad → Build your college plan.
Choose the LaunchPad + PathFinder option at checkout to get both programs at the discounted bundle price.
