When School Feels Like Too Much, We’re Here to Help
School can be overwhelming—even for students who are smart, capable, and driven. We often hear from parents who’ve already tried tutors, school counselors, and self-help tools without real results. (Click here for College Student Support)
Common signs of academic and emotional strain include:
- Slipping grades or missed assignments
- Difficulty focusing or staying organized
- Anxiety before tests or at the start of the school day
- Social withdrawal or emotional shutdowns
