Our mission is to activate students to determine and pursue an informed future.

Education Opens Doors is a turnkey program designed to meet a pressing need in our education system: a lack of dedicated time in school to prepare students to make critical decisions for their future and inspire them to reach their potential.

On average, public high school students receive only 38minutes of college and career advising over 4 years.

We turn that 38 minutes over 4
years into 1,200minutes in just one year.

Our solution is what makes us different.

Created for teachers, by teachers.

We provide teachers with the content, training and technology necessary to equip their students with critical information not traditionally taught in school. Our students learn the knowledge and skills to confidently navigate highschool, set post-secondary goals, and begin their journey to stay on track toward their dreams.

Guiding parents & students alike.

Parents, guardians, and family members play a crucial role in the post-secondary planning process. We are piloting parent programming in 2023-2024 to support parents as they build a roadmap for their students.

Education Opens Doors has filled a need that we were not aware that we had – ensuring that families of first generation college students not only had the support necessary to think about the future, but also the realistic and deployable tools necessary to believe that future was possible. EOD gives our families a language and a means by which they can contemplate pursuing higher education goals, whether or not they go on to our Catholic high schools.”

I am extremely invested in the Education Opens Doors Program because I have already seen the huge impact it has had on my students. They are able to connect how their current academic and personal choices are leading them to greater success in their high school and college careers.”

EOD IS helping students become more exposed and informed about their options and possibilities through high school and college and even beyond that.”

I knew that college was expensive but I didn't realize how much you'd have to pay for your dorm, or the textbooks and the classes. The program helped me realize that I need to start saving up so that I can get to where I want to be.”

our impact spans boundaries

“Through the program, I now understand what opportunities are open for me. I learned that there are multiple problems in the world, but that I could also be a part of the solution.”

The Door That Opened For Me:
“I want to attend Columbia University to become a psychologist and help people understand that they have many opportunities, just like I do.”
