Admission to the Program

To ensure quality, we admit only a small number of students per semester.

Applicants should already demonstrate strong u003cbru003eacademics, motivation, and initiative

Project A — U.S. College u0026amp; Boarding School Admissions is designed for students ages 14–18 preparing to apply to universities or boarding schools within the next 1–2 years

1. Application Form

Students (not parents) complete a short form about their background, strengths, and goals — authenticity and honesty matter more than perfect wording.

2. Application Review

Our admissions team carefully reviews every application to understand each student’s readiness, motivation, and potential to grow within the program.

3. Interview

Selected applicants are invited to a 30–40 minute online interview with a mentor — a focused conversation about their interests, experiences.

4. Decision

Families are notified soon after the interview. Once admitted, students are matched with a mentor and begin their personalized learning journey right away.

Applications for the 2025–2026 cohort are accepted u003cbru003euntil 1 December 2025, but spaces are limited

Admission is rolling, and early applications are strongly encourage. Because places are limited, we cannot guarantee availability after 1 December 2025. Early applications are strongly encouraged.

        What if my child doesn’t know what they’re u2028passionate about?

        That’s actually the most common starting point — and it’s exactly why we exist. Very few 12–16-year-olds can name a clear passion, and that’s normal.

Through reflection, research, and mentorship, children uncover what excites them and learn to connect it to real-world problems. By the end, they don’t just have “an interest” — they have direction, confidence, and proof that they can pursue it.
