At The Core Turns 10!

Anyone with teens knows that time does fly. Seems like you just dropped them off at kindergarten and now you are staring at the newest driver in your house.

We’re feeling the passage of time this year as well. On December 5, 2022, At The Core will celebrate our birthday – our 10th year of helping families. Just….wow!

Reflecting on 10 Years

As we take a moment to look back, the pictures that come to mind are of FAMILIES. Families trying to navigate the waters of middle school and high school while thinking ahead to college and career.

We remember the “ah-ha” moments a mom had about college planning, the face of a student when they, for the first time, recognize a personality trait and how it can help them in the future, or a proud dad taking time to share an update about his kiddo.

The Spark of an Idea

These moments with families are exactly what our founder, Beth Probst, was thinking about 10 years ago when the idea sparked: How can we help students consider their strongest traits and connect them to work they will love? How can that work help define a student’s choices during high school? How can this work save families time, effort, and money as that student finishes high school and heads to what’s next?

At The Core was founded on these thoughts, and over the years, we’ve grown into a powerful team of professionals that still focus on exactly those questions. Thousands of families have joined us on that mission. We are grateful for all of the support from our families and partners, and we hope you will join us as we celebrate.

Remember, we are always here for your quick questions via email or by phone at (614) 404-0646, and when you need more personal, in-depth support, our Private Consultations happen year-round.
