Transition Coaching for those handling a change in their educational journey
Transitioning through different stages of education, particularly if it involves changing schools or living away from home as a boarder, can be quite a challenge. Moving into a new educational environment (even within the same school) can bring unfamiliar demands and expectations, requiring adjustments that can feel both exciting and overwhelming - to students and parents alike!
Our coaching sessions are designed to empower parents as well as students to navigate these changes with confidence, turning what could be a daunting experience into an enjoyable and rewarding journey. Our experience has shown that even when only one member of the family is experiencing a change to their education, there is often a ripple effect felt by all members of the family - it becomes a shared transition experience for the family.
We work together to identify existing skills and strengths that can be leveraged to adapt to new challenges, shape goals and aspirations for academic and personal growth, and develop new skills and strategies to tackle the transition with problem-solving skills, flexibility, perspective, and resilience.
Whatever stage you are in of your educational journey, we will work with you to turn this big leap into a series of manageable steps.

EDUCATIONAL TRANSITION OPTIONS
-
Moving Up
Moving Up is for those moving into a new phase of education.
Typically, this type of move will start alongside an intake of peers and there will be some preparation activities in your new school, as well as a departure process in your current school.
The coaching sessions will compliment the support that is in place for you and your child via your school(s).
-
Moving Across
Moving Across is for those moving schools outside of the standard intake points.
There are a variety of reasons for moving schools at this point, such as changes in family circumstances or issues with the fit of the current school, as well as a sea of other individual factors.
The coaching sessions will offer a space for you and/or your child to navigate the unique circumstances of this move.
-
Moving Away
Moving Away is for those moving away from the current family home for schooling.
Typically, this takes the form of an individual move into boarding school.
The coaching sessions are designed to address both the educational and residential transitions of your specific move.
