Roadmap by grade

Tests, activities, courses and applications on one line, with official dates where they exist, so grade 11 holds no surprises.

See how it works
Four-year roadmap for grade 10: PSAT, a bigger role in an activity, the Congressional App Challenge, a science fair and summer program applications on a timeline

A two-minute log that becomes the record

Once a week your teen writes, or says, what they did. It turns into entries with hours and roles, and by grade 12 into the record colleges ask for.

Your teen confirms
Nothing reaches the record until they say it’s right.
Hours confirmed by email
Supervisors confirm volunteer hours from one email, no account needed.

Colleges with your real price

Net price for your family’s income from federal data, every deadline on one line, and tiers your teen sets. No admission odds.

See how it works
Nate’s college list as a parent sees it: each college’s net price for a family income of $75,000 to $110,000, cost before aid, aid forms and deadlines

Pro, for the steps that use AI

The AI organizes what your teen did and asks good questions. It never writes for them. Pro is $199 a school year per teen. See pricing

Direction plans a path

From the record and public college data: courses, activities and colleges for an interest, as a suggestion to edit.

Opportunities finds what’s near you

Contests, summer programs, volunteering and scholarships near home that fit your teen’s direction.

The essay coach checks drafts

It checks each draft against six things readers look for and asks questions. The words stay your teen’s.

Sort with AI tiers the college list

It suggests Reach, Match or Likely for each college on the list. Your teen accepts or changes each one.

Questions

Does Pennantist replace SchooLinks or our counselor?
No. Course requests, parent approval and transcripts stay in your district’s own system, and your counselor has the final word. Pennantist is your family’s own four-year plan and record, checked against the same district rules.
What can I see as a parent, and what stays private?
You see the roadmap, the course plan and GPA, the confirmed record, letters and deadlines. Your teen’s weekly log in their own words, voice notes, essay drafts and proof files stay theirs unless they turn sharing on. That’s built into who can see what, not a setting anyone can switch on by mistake.
Does the AI write essays?
Never. It organizes what your teen logged and asks questions about a draft. It doesn’t write an essay, a sentence or an activity description for them.
What if our district isn’t open yet?
Pick it when you sign up and join its waiting list. A district opens when 5 families ask for it, and you get a link to share with other families. Outside Texas, join your state’s list.
How is the first year’s price worked out?
Pro is $199 a school year, August 1 to July 31. Starting mid-year, you pay only for the days left; in June and July the summer is free. Paying once through graduation is 25% off. Prices are before sales tax.
Can I buy Pro for one teen and not the other?
Yes. Pro belongs to each teen, and everything else works for every teen in the family.
Do you sell data or show ads?
No. No ads, no ad trackers, no analytics that follow anyone, and nothing is sold or passed to colleges.
What languages does it work in?
Parents can use it in English, 中文, Español, 한국어 or Tiếng Việt, each parent their own. Teens use it in English.
