Strides operates with a “can do/will do” mindset. We can and will do whatever is necessary to ensure that our students get what they need. When given the right supports, ALL students can and will be successful.
“I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Ms. K for almost 7 years in various roles and capacities. As a special education teacher and then leader, I partnered with Ms. K to ensure strong outcomes for students with exceptionalities. Her partnership in the work was invaluable. No matter the problem, Ms. K worked to find a solution. She is relentless in her pursuit of better for students and embodies the “person-first” mindset. Ms. K does not believe in putting limitations on a student or viewing them through the lens of their disability.
It was this passion and drive for the work that led me to asking her to be my own daughter’s college counselor. Her guidance has been exactly what we needed to navigate the daunting, and sometimes overwhelming, college process. Ms. K’s vast wealth of knowledge and expertise in this field have proven to be priceless and without her our family would truly be lost. “

Stride’s guidance and expertise went so far beyond our expectations and it is with much enthusiasm that I recommend Kaara and her team to anyone trying to navigate the college application process.
“From the moment we met Kaara, her calm and warm personality, professionalism and incredible knowledge made it clear we found the perfect person to help us. She worked with my daughter to revise and refine her college essay to truly showcase her passion, her strengths, her achievements and her personal growth. Kaara was able to listen to my daughter’s stories and help to craft them into a truly impactful and wonderfully written essay.
Beyond the essay, Kaara provided invaluable guidance throughout the entire application process. She answered any and all of our (many!) questions, took time to chat or meet with us when we needed her, and meticulously reviewed all of her application materials, ensuring they were polished and ready to submit, based specifically on the requirements of each school.
My daughter was accepted at each of the schools she applied to, including UCONN in its most competitive year to date where they recently, at orientation, said they received 46,000 applications! I truly believe this is because her essay stood out among the competition and painted a picture of my daughters personality, achievements and potential.
Thank you, Kaara for your invaluable contribution to Julia’s success. And for continuing to answer all of our questions as we move forward as an accepted student family! See you soon with the next kiddo!”~ Jessica M. (Parent)

Stride's has been such an incredible blessing in my college journey.
“I’ve wanted to go to UConn for as long as I can remember and with her help it was all possible and I will be following my dreams and moving into Storrs this August. Writing has never been my strongest subject. My original essay was ok but working with Kaara helped me to transform it into an amazing essay that helped me get into my dream school. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Kaara and truly couldn’t have done it without her.”
