Our History

KD College Prep was founded by Karen Dillard.

Karen began her professional teaching career with a focus in developmental reading. Her teaching style included innovative techniques designed to maximize student performance. She maintains the belief that a student will excel if inspired.

In 1992, Karen established her own test preparation company, Karen Dillard's College Prep in an effort to provide a more personalized experience for students. To date, the company has helped over 24,000 students reach their college admissions goals.

KD College Prep seeks to continually improve by better understanding the needs of our students. Through exceptional customer service, performance monitoring, and curriculum delivery, we hope to continue helping students achieve their dreams.

The company's current locations include the original campus in Plano, as well as campuses in Colleyville and North Dallas.

Our Mission:

The purpose of our day is to help each of our students expand and improve his or her choices for admissions, scholarships, and honors programs through improved test scores and in doing so, better equip them with a fundamental understanding of how to successfully prepare for any major life-impacting event.
