✓ A student frustrated by lack of academic success, worried about your friends success, and can't seem to get out of your own way.
✓ A worried parent, uncertain of how to help your student, concerned about their lack of emotional intelligence skills, and whether you should send them back next semester.

- 30% of first year students do not return to the same school for their second year.
This is where College BounceBack Accelerator comes in. In just one semester, we focus on building structure, accountability, and momentum—so students bounce back quickly and families feel relief.
