Philosophy of Services
Nearly every high powered university counseling program in the world happens in isolation: a single school working to meet the needs of the students on its individual campus. For the most part, the power of these programs rests on the strengths of individual staff members. When a respected counselor leaves a school, they often take much of the strength of the program with them. Jack offer’s the opportunity to examine how University Advising Programs can be made both stronger and more sustainable through scale.
Most International Schools have existing and knowledgeable university advising structures, and I will assume these schools and their services will remain the flagship offerings. Given that I seek to advance services through improvements that are tried and tested – existent best practices for individual schools.

“As a small international school we wanted to ensure that we had world class expertise supporting our University and Careers Coordinator, as well as our graduating IBDP cohort. Jack, with his many years of experience, instantly connected with our students and was able to coach each student through different university systems across the world. Particularly helpful was Jack’s willingness to use his connections to offer support in pursuing sporting and academic scholarships. The sessions we had were not just invaluable for students but also for our school, supporting us in refining our vision and driving forward improvement of our current in-school provision.”
