Edgeucation's Next Chapter: I've Joined Menlo Coaching
I started Edgeucation to give students something a classroom rarely can: one-on-one attention from someone who sees their potential before they do. For more than a decade, that work has taken Charlotte students to Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Duke, and UNC Chapel Hill. It has also helped them win the Morehead-Cain, the Park, and the Jefferson Scholarship, and more than $2.25 million in scholarship and startup funding.
Now I'm taking that work further. I've joined Menlo Coaching as Director & Senior College Admissions Consultant, leading their work with families in Charlotte. I'm pairing my approach with a firm that brings the same standards to the most competitive admissions in the country.
If you're a Charlotte family starting the college process, I'd love to talk.
About Dr. Edge
James Edge, PhD, is Director & Senior College Admissions Consultant at Menlo Coaching, where he leads the firm's work with Charlotte families.
A Georgia native raised largely by his grandparents, James learned early to follow his own curiosity. At the University of Georgia he chose English, his weakest subject, to become a sharper thinker, and graduated summa cum laude from the Honors Program. He went on to earn his PhD in English from the University of South Carolina.
At Providence Day School, James taught AP Language & Composition, coached tennis at every level, and built the school's Social Entrepreneurship program. Its Hackathons reached more than 1,200 students across the Charlotte area. He founded Edgeucation to work with students one-on-one, and he has since coached students from NCSSM, Charlotte Latin, Country Day, Myers Park, and schools across the region.
Today he brings that experience to Menlo, helping Charlotte's most driven students build profiles, and applications, that admissions officers can't overlook.
