Pre-college
The path to studying at a US university begins not with applying but rather with the four preceding years of academic and extracurricular exploration. The activity sections of the Common, Coalition, UC and CUNY 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, Quintessentially Education prepares students for the entire application process.

Meanwhile, trimester, semester and full-year study abroad opportunities are available year-round for students interested in earning transferrable college credit through new experiences.
