Laura Barr, the founder of e.Merging, believes that the college choice process should be joyful and intentional while providing enlightening, transformational insights. We approach the journey towards application completion as a “rite of passage” that should be honored as the Capstone project for juniors and rising seniors. As such, we have designed a unique spiraling college application curriculum within an expeditionary learning framework that maximizes the value of the journey – not just the destination.

Our methodology focuses on asking “the more beautiful questions” so our students become change agents in what they want for themselves and how they want to contribute to the world. At the end of our work with students, we know where they want to go, what they want to do, and who they want to be. And, most importantly, the students are secure in these ideas about themselves.
