In announcing the latest installment of this program, Victoria C. Newman, founder and Executive Director of Greenwich Education Group said, “Our focus is on making sure that each student has the best educational experience possible. Our successful launch of this free college seminar three years ago, in cooperation with our Arch Street partners, showed us that parents and students are seeking advice and guidance in achieving a successful outcome. Every child has their own story to tell and our college team and essay specialists expertly guide each client. This is the hallmark of GEG's college advisory practice.”Kyle Silver, Executive Director of Arch Street, The Greenwich Teen Center appreciates the synergy achieved in working with GEG, given the important nature of the seminar: “The college application process can feel fairly intimidating for the entire family. We are pleased to be working with GEG to give students and parents the opportunity to lower the anxiety level that comes with this challenge.”
