What’s inside

Six things the guide walks you through

Plus 6 short videos by email over 9 days.

01

Grade 10: building a base

The best time to start, before any big decisions. Includes a checklist: a family talk about university, course planning with the counsellor, and a first look at costs.

02

Grade 11: the critical year

How to make real plans while the pressure builds: course choices for Grade 12, university visits, and scholarship deadlines.

03

Grade 12: helping without hovering

Your role as a parent: guide without taking over, keep things moving, and handle the financial paperwork.

04

A timeline for Grade 12

What to do from September to March, from applications and financial aid to deadlines and offers.

05

Conversations to have before they leave

Money, health and safety, and studying on their own. Three talks worth having before the first day.

06

What nobody tells you about university

Advice from our tutors on the skills that matter as much as grades: learning how to think, and how to learn.

From the guide

Hear from our tutors

“In high school, you’re so adjusted to having these five classes, but you still have enough time to have a social life and to do whatever you want... That was one of the things that I had a hard time balancing.”

“You’re really there to learn how to think, and how to learn more than anything else. That’s what employers really value in university graduates.”
