Student Coaching

Ark Career Coaching encourages students to use their strengths as they build their future.

Most students spend a majority of their time taking tests, working to make honor roll and building their academic resume. Students rarely take time to reflect upon their passions, strengths, skills, natural talents, interests and personal definition of success.

Setting goals establishes a foundation for building a solid and satisfying future. It also puts the student ahead of their peers when they create action plans, develop confidence and feel some control over their future. We help students create a vision of their desired future that incorporates their successes, strengths, values and experiences.

Strategies and exercises help students work toward developing and achieving their goals. Coaching helps students learn how to:

• Become leaders
• Enjoy the school selection process
• Select a major
• Impress interviewers
• Manage time and set priorities
• Maximize their school experience
• Try new things that will help them develop their strengths
• Create a plan of action to achieve their dreams

School Selection

We support students and give them the tools to take control of the school selection process. We don’t identify specific schools, we encourage students to identify:

• What they want to achieve through the school experience
• Their desired teaching style, classroom environment and social outlets
• How to understand, develop and communicate their strengths
• What makes them special
• Educational goals
