Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Foundation different from the Collective?

The Collective provides education and community—a 3-week introduction to the Sterling Standards™ framework. The Foundation adds implementation architecture: a personalized profile report, 30-day action planner, goal-setting templates, and weekly check-in prompts.

How is the Accelerator different from the Foundation?

The Accelerator includes EVERYTHING in the Foundation PLUS two private 60-minute family coaching sessions where your teen participates directly, a customized college/career roadmap, the Sterling Standards™ 60-Day Planner, and direct email access to Coach C3 throughout the intensive.

Does my teen attend the sessions?

For Collective and Foundation, the cohorts are designed for parents. You'll learn the framework and strategies to implement with your teen at home. For Accelerator, your teen participates in the two private family coaching sessions.

What is the Sterling Standards™ Assessment?

It's a comprehensive diagnostic tool that evaluates your teen across 8 critical durable skill areas — including decision-making, communication, time management, financial awareness, and more.

What ages are appropriate for each program?

Collective and Foundation are ideal for students ages 13-20. Accelerator is best for students 16-20 who are facing near-term decisions like college applications or career pivots.

Can I upgrade to a higher tier later?

Absolutely. Many families start with the Collective and graduate to the Foundation or Accelerator for deeper support. Alumni receive priority enrollment and exclusive upgrade pricing.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a full refund if requested before Session 2. After Session 2, no refunds are issued, but we will provide a pro-rated credit toward a future cohort. Accelerator participants can transfer to Foundation and receive a refund of the difference if they don't feel it's the right fit after the first week.

Ideal for PTAs, Churches, and Professional Associations

We partner with organizations to deliver private cohorts tailored to your community's schedule and needs. Minimum of 4 families required.
