10th Grade
The year to go deeper. Define passions, take ownership, and create visible, measurable impact.
Profile Acceleration
Sophomore year is about direction and differentiation. Students focus on mastery, credibility, and shaping an authentic identity colleges will recognize.
Why it matters  (parent concerns)
Common questions parents often ask:
- Does my child’s involvement show real commitment—or scattered effort?
- Are they ready to take on leadership and mentorship opportunities?
- Do they know how to demonstrate expertise or initiative?
- Are they building a story colleges can already see unfolding?
This year is about transforming interests into identity. Students move from exploration to execution—learning to commit, master, and make an impact. They begin to see the connection between specialized effort and visible recognition. It’s a year where focus replaces busyness, where ideas evolve into measurable results, and where students start becoming known for something specific and valuable.
