Hello!

I’m Ashleigh Hamilton, the founder of Decisive Pathways. With over 20 years of experience in education, I’m passionate about helping students and families navigate the complex college admissions process. My goal is to transform what can feel like a stressful journey into an exciting adventure of self-discovery.

At Decisive Pathways, I provide personalized support in academic planning, course selection, application strategies, and college selection—all tailored to each student’s unique needs and goals. I adhere to IECA’s Principles of Good Practice, empowering students to take ownership of their college application process and focus on finding the best-fit institutions, not just “getting in.” Recognizing that traditional college paths aren’t for everyone, I also help students explore alternatives like gap years or vocational training.

I believe that college preparation should be both empowering and enriching. When you work with me, you’re not just preparing for college; you’re embarking on a transformative journey with an experienced navigator by your side. As both an educator and a mother, I bring a blend of professional expertise and personal understanding to guide students toward success in higher education and beyond.

Let’s chart your course to success and make your educational dreams a reality!
