Strategic College Admissions for Urban School Students
The Urban School of San Francisco is a pioneer in progressive education, known for its rigorous block schedule and its commitment to “igniting a passion for learning.” However, in the high-stakes world of elite admissions, being a high-achieving Urban student is a unique challenge—students must prove that their non-traditional, inquiry-based curriculum translates to success at the nation’s most traditional, selective universities. While Urban provides an exceptional foundation for deep thinking, Cardinal Education offers the independent college counseling required to build a high-impact personal brand. We help students leverage their unique experiences—from Month-long intensives to leadership in the Service Learning program—into a narrative of intellectual vitality that resonates with admissions officers at Ivy League and Stanford-tier institutions.
