Getting started with College Flight Path begins with a conversation. There is no commitment required and no obligation to move forward. The first step is reaching out at hello@collegeflightpath.com to schedule a complimentary consultation where we learn about your student, your family's goals, and what kind of support would be most useful.

College Flight Path works with families across the Philadelphia Main Line, South Jersey, Delaware, and Charleston, South Carolina. We serve students from 7th grade through college transition and, through our career counseling services, beyond. Whatever stage your family is at, the process of getting started is the same: one conversation.

What the First Conversation Looks Like

The initial consultation is an opportunity for both sides to assess fit. We will ask about your student, their grade, their academic profile, their interests, and what they are hoping to get out of the college planning process. We will also ask about the family's timeline, budget, and any specific concerns or priorities.

We will explain how College Flight Path works, what the different service levels look like, and our philosophy for how the counseling relationship functions. There is no pressure and no hard sell. If we are a good match, we will say so. If we think a different kind of support would serve you better, we will say that too.

Chatham Oaks was founded after seeing the disconnect between small business owners and the massive marketing companies they consistently rely on to help them with their marketing.

Seeing the dynamic from both sides through running my own businesses and working for marketing corporations to help small businesses, it was apparent most small businesses needed two things:

simple, effective marketing strategy and help from experts that actually care about who they are and what is important to their unique business.
