Our Approach

We address the college completion challenge at its root by acting as a data and service bridge between K-12 and higher education. We advance our mission through 3 core activities: TRACK , CONNECT, and COACH. All three activities are linked to a data analytics engine that provides rich insights to education administrators to help them better prepare and support their students for college success.

Track

Comprehensive Profile

Manage all alumni data, including case notes, in one place through a comprehensive alumni profile

Custom Dashboards & Reports

Measure program effectiveness and identify students most in need of support with dashboards and customized reports

Consolidated Communication
