Highly Recommended
A guide that helps families, teachers, and schools work toward the same goal: preparing students to grow, thrive, and stand out in the traits colleges value most.
Highly Recommended is a guide for parents and students built on the same traits teachers rate on the Common App. It helps families focus on what colleges value most—confidence, character, and growth.

For Parents and Students
As a teacher and parent, I’ve seen how the right habits can make high school feel less overwhelming and far more rewarding. Highly Recommended helps students build productive relationships with teachers, strengthen their confidence, and develop the traits that colleges value most. The result: an easier path through high school and a stronger chance at the college acceptance you’ve worked toward
For Schools and Educators
Highly Recommended is more than a guide for families—it’s a resource that supports school culture. Built around the exact traits colleges ask teachers to evaluate, it aligns with SEL and CASEL goals by encouraging students to develop confidence, integrity, and resilience. When students grow in these areas, classrooms run more smoothly, school climate improves, and teachers find themselves better able to advocate for their students in recommendations.
