AMDG. What exactly is a Kolbe advisor? Advisors Rylan Buchanan and Krysten Pizzurro join the Kolbecast to share an insider-look at how the academic advisor team collaborates with parents and students to meet their academic goals, from course selection to college planning. Rylan and Krysten talk about their backgrounds in homeschooling and their journeys to becoming Kolbe advisors; how the advisor role developed into what it is today; the services available to families; the questions everyone should ask their advisors; and some surprising ways your advisor might be able to help you in your homeschooling journey.   Links mentioned & relevant:   Help Center article on parent partnership meetings  2024-25 parent partnership meeting schedule  Grade Reporting section in Kolbe.org Help Center  Scheduling the Elementary and Middle School Day article  Principle of Subsidiarity article  Related Kolbecast episodes  228 No Holding Back  151 Joyful Discoveries for Preschoolers  197 Tools in a Toolbox: Student Support  61 Middle Ground  230 A Multi-Pronged Approach to College Prep  Have questions or suggestions for future episodes or a story of your own experience that you’d like to share?
