Pre-college

The path to studying at a US university begins with the four preceding years of academic and extracurricular exploration. The activity sections of the respective US application systems each require ten to twenty well-rounded yet targeted extracurricular pursuits. A student is often expected to include standardised test scores (ACT, SAT and AP), academic achievements and competitive accolades. From personalised profile-building to guidance on pre-college summer programs and campus tours, we prepare students for the entire application process.
