Northlight Educational Planning is dedicated to helping students and families navigate the college admissions journey with confidence.

We work one-on-one with students to explore interests and goals, identify summer opportunities, plan for testing, and build a thoughtful list. We make sure every list balances academic strengths, social environment, and financial fit—so students feel excited about every option.

At Northlight, we believe the admissions process is about more than just getting in—it’s about finding the right fit. Our essay coaching helps students discover and share their authentic stories, while our organizational support keeps the process manageable and stress-free.

In addition to college counseling, we offer support for the high school and middle school application process in the San Francisco Bay Area.
