Coaching Confident Students

Answering the 5 W’s

  • On Course Family Coaching offers Academic and Life Coaching for students starting in 6th grade progressing through the college years.
    This program is for students who are capable but often feel overwhelmed, distracted, or unmotivated. They may struggle with time management, organization, or following through on goals.
    It’s also ideal for homeschool or hybrid learners who benefit from structure, accountability, and outside support that reinforces family and faith values.

    Common Signs They’re Ready for Coaching:

    • Homework and tasks pile up or get forgotten

    • Procrastination or perfectionism

    • Emotional stress or loss of motivation

    • Difficulty balancing school, sports, and personal life

  • Students gain tools to manage their workload and emotions with greater confidence and clarity.
    Coaching helps them build habits that support both academic success and personal growth.
    They leave each session feeling capable, encouraged, and equipped.

    • Stronger organization and planning skills

    • Improved focus and follow-through

    • Increased confidence and communication

    • Emotional awareness and self-regulation

    • A sense of direction rooted in purpose and faith

  • Coaching sessions are held virtually through secure video calls — creating consistency for both homeschool and traditional students, no matter their location.
    Each student also participates in Study Hall, a guided accountability space where they plan, reflect, and stay on track between sessions.

    Virtual • Flexible • Private • Accessible from any device

  • New student clients are accepted at the start of each semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer).
    Full-year clients can enroll any time during the school year if space allows.

    • Fall Semester Enrollment: Opens July 15

    • Spring Semester Enrollment: Opens December 1

    • Summer Enrollment: Opens May 1

    Spots are limited to ensure individualized attention and a meaningful coach–student connection.

  • Because it’s not tutoring or therapy — it’s transformation through guidance and accountability. Students learn how to think, plan, and respond with purpose rather than react under pressure.
    At On Course Family Coaching, we integrate faith, family values, and practical skill-building, so growth lasts far beyond the semester.

    Coaching works because it gives students the tools to manage life from the inside out — blending mindset, motivation, and faith-based resilience.

“And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.”
— Paul the Apostle
