The digital binder.

A shared workspace where your family keeps everything that matters for college — organized from 9th grade through decision day.

Grades, activities, and testing — captured once, used everywhere.
Essays and documents — every draft saved, nothing lost.
College list, scholarships, and deadlines — always current, always shared.

Instead of what you're doing now.

If any of this looks familiar, you're in the right place.

Instead of

Spreadsheets that go out of date
Notes apps no one else can see
Email threads and text chains
A folder of documents nobody can find

You have

One shared system
Everything in one place
Always up to date
Visible to the whole family

How it works.

Three simple steps — built for families, not just students.

1

Add your student

Create a shared family workspace in minutes. Parents can set it up — your student joins when they're ready.

2

We organize everything automatically

Upload report cards, transcripts, and score reports — we parse them and populate the Binder. No spreadsheets, no manual entry.

3

You stay on track — without chasing deadlines

Weekly briefings, deadline alerts, and progress you can see without asking. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Two tiers, both launching soon — free for you.

The Binder will be free forever, for every family. CollegeHound Plus adds AI coaching — free for every Apex junior through May 1, 2027. A $180 value, on us.

How Plus actually works

Meet Scout. A conversation, not a chatbot.

Scout is the AI assistant inside CollegeHound Plus. You tell Scout about your student — grades, interests, family situation, target schools. Every question you ask sharpens what Scout knows about your family, specifically.

Scout remembers across four years.

Not just the conversation. Not just the session. The whole journey — 9th grade through decision day.

Scout learns your family, specifically.

Every input makes the next suggestion more accurate — for your student, not a generic student. The longer you use it, the more valuable it becomes.

Your information stays yours.

Not used to train public AI models. Not shared with other families. Private by design.

What Apex families and educators are saying

Real feedback from real neighbors.

“This is an incredible tool. It finally gives structure to everything students do before applying to college.”

Christina Winter

Educator & Parent · Lead in Literacy / Sure Start Reading

“The college journey can feel overwhelming for kids with learning challenges but CollegeHound makes it manageable.”

“Knowing where to start is often a roadblock for students with ASD, ADHD and executive function challenges. CollegeHound lessens that burden by providing a clear framework that starts as early as 9th grade, building crucial skills like planning, time management, working memory and organization over several years.

This long-term approach helps students stay on track and reach deadlines with reduced stress. Its personal assistant, Scout, is a standout feature that sets realistic goals, identifies gaps in applications, and utilizes AI capabilities to match individualized interests to schools that are the right fit for specific learning needs.

As an executive function coach who works with kids with learning differences, I would highly recommend this platform. It helps break down large tasks into smaller steps, improves the quality of applications, reduces overwhelm, and empowers students to take ownership and accountability during the college journey.”

Built by Apex parents.

We're Shelley and Ed Psyk. Our kids Jessica ('03), Christine ('09), and Steve ('10) graduated from Apex HS. Izzy ('20) and Maddie ('22) graduated from Apex Friendship. Our son Gabe is a junior at AFHS now. That's six application cycles across 24 years — and we built CollegeHound so the next class doesn't have to scramble the way we did.

Private by design

We don't collect last names, birthdates, addresses, or SSNs. Identifiers are redacted before any AI sees your data.

Shared, not siloed

Parents and students work from the same binder. Approval gates mean nothing gets submitted without your review.

Current, not stale

Every answer carries a freshness stamp. Our research refreshes weekly — not once, years ago when a model was trained.
