Finding The Right High School | Launch Angle Consulting, LLC

Consulting BY Parents FOR Parents about changing their child's high school educational experience t0 improve their development and maturation, and change their Launch Angle into college and beyond.

Unique Needs?

Does your child have academic, creative, athletic, intellectual, organizational or leadership talents that have existed from a very young age or have recently emerged?

Falling Short?

Are you concerned that their high school will not foster and enable the development of their talents, skills and abilities that they deserve and need to thrive in college and beyond?

Too Expensive?

Does the price tag of parochial or private high school make it seem "unobtainable" as a possible path forward for your child and your family?

Missing Something?

Has your child demonstrated that they want and need more from their educational environment to achieve the things they want to accomplish before going to college?

Value Education?

Do you want to ensure that your child continuously develops their talents and skills in the best possible environment for them, that challenges and nurtures all aspects of their personal growth?

Embrace Change?

Are you ready to listen, learn and embrace some new thinking to help your child find the place, people and community for them to thrive in high school, college and beyond?

If you can answer “Yes” to the questions above, then we can help. Just like you, we are parents who also had similar concerns about what to do to support our children’s education and development.

We knew the environment they were in was not going to help them the way they needed – and they knew it too. We found a way to navigate forward through both parochial and private school to change the launch angle of both of our children via better educational choices to enable them to fulfill their dreams to be who they wanted to be and get where they wanted to go.

They developed the skills, talents and experiences they needed for success in high school and then got to do what they wanted to do at a high level in highly selective colleges and universities. Let us share our knowledge and experiences with you.

Chris Lucas
C0-Founder and Minority Member, LLC

We are two working parents who have lived the journey of raising two very different people who were both talented students, athletes, and people with aspirations of greatness who desired more than what their public high school could provide in all aspects of student life (academic, interpersonal, faculty interactions, athletic, social, community). We can speak from the heart and the head on what a successful educational journey truly is.

We supported them through their journey from local public middle school to parochial high school to two of the best private high schools in the country and, most recently to highly selective, prestigious and demanding colleges. We learned a lot along the way and have counseled friends and colleagues about the approach we took, our experiences, unforeseen challenges, finding ways to pay for tuition, the good, the bad and the ugly our children had to deal with along the way. We now want to share that knowledge with other parents who want the best for their kids but are uncertain about the right path forward.

Let us help you navigate the exploration and decision making process of evaluating educational alternatives. As in life, there is what “they” say happens, and then, there is what really happens.
