Program overview
A plan built around each student.
CEI provides student-centered college and career readiness programming for students and families through one-on-one guidance, academic intervention, and academic planning.
Collaborative planning with each school connects student data and school goals to practical support. Services include college application review, FAFSA support, and co-curricular résumé development — all designed to strengthen graduation outcomes, family engagement, and access to higher education.
