How Pennantist works, grade 9 to 12
Your teen plans and logs; you follow along. Every part below is a real screen from a demo family.
A course plan by your district’s rules
Pick courses from your district’s own catalog. Prerequisites are drawn in, GPA is weighted the way your district counts it, and graduation and endorsement rules are checked every year.
Direction, a plan for an interest
Your teen picks an interest. Direction suggests courses, activities and colleges from their record and public college data. It never guesses admission chances.
A roadmap of what’s due in each grade
Tests, activities, courses and applications on one timeline, with official dates where they exist. Add it to your calendar.
Opportunities near you
Contests, summer programs, volunteering and scholarships near home that fit your teen’s direction. Parents can suggest one.
A weekly log, two minutes long
Once a week your teen writes, or says, what they did. It turns into entries for them to check, and only what they add reaches the record.
A record colleges can read
Activities, awards, leadership and summers by grade, with proof files and volunteer hours confirmed by supervisors by email.
Tests, with each college’s range
SAT, ACT and PSAT scores beside the middle 50% at each college on the list, and whether it requires scores.
Colleges with your real price
Net price for your income from federal data, every deadline on one line, and Reach, Match and Likely tiers your teen sets. No admission odds.
Recommendations, on time
Who to ask and when, a brag sheet to send with the ask, and where each letter stands.
Applications, from the record
The Common App activity list, drafted in your teen’s own words from what they logged.
An essay coach that never writes
Your teen writes; the coach checks each draft against six things readers look for and asks about the paragraphs that need work. The words stay theirs.
