Leanne
CDA Parent
Thanks to CarpeDiem coaches' guidance, my daughter is prepared to continue this success in college. I will be forever grateful for her help, and my daughter is so lucky to have someone like Tika in her corner!
Courtney
CDA Student
I really struggled with the ACT before going to CDA. The coaches took the time to understand how I learn and found the best way to help me achieve my goals. After just my first session, I left with more knowledge than I had when I came in. With their help, my score improved significantly and I can now get into my dream college!
Heidi
CDA Parent
With the Academic Success Coaching program, my daughter received one on one help that was a great fit to her personality. She had a very good rapport with her academic coach, and her grade in class went up a letter grade! CDA is the best!
Emily
CDA Student
In a matter of 3 months, my success coach was able to help me move my grade two letter grades! She was patient and efficient in each one of our sessions together and gave me confidence to trust myself during tests.
Tim
CDA Parent
CarpeDiem was pivotal to my student's success. They not only teach the subject well, but also how to study, which is lacking in the school system. Great complement to normal course work.
This is where Student-Athletes Thrive.
