In Year 10, we work with students and parents to create an academic plan and begin exploring potential careers and majors. Our curriculum culminates in a weeklong work experience for all students, giving them the opportunity to explore careers firsthand.
In Year 11, we work to identify the country system or systems that are best suited to the student and help them to plan their IB choices in order to ensure that they are meeting requirements for the universities and courses of greatest interest to them.
Year 12 is focused on identifying a short list of good-fit universities, writing the Personal Statement and completing the foundational elements of each application. We work individually with students to help them identify readings, coursework, internships, and other extracurricular activities that will help them build their stories and stand out in the university admissions process.
In Year 13, we help students finalise and send their applications, support them with interview preparation, and help them with deferral and waitlist strategies. We meet one-on-one with students to ensure that they are on track with applications and that all deadlines are met.
