Project A — U.S. College & Boarding School Admissions

We turn achievements into a compelling, standout application

A 12-month mentorship for 14-16 year old that turns achievement into recognition — supporting students at every stage of their admission to the best educational institutions.

The Challenge Parents Recognize

The admissions process has never been more competitive — for both universities and boarding schools. Every year, outstanding students are rejected, not because they lack ability, but because their applications look just like everyone else’s.

Parents often see the same struggles:

  • Strong but scattered — great grades and activities, but no clear story.
  • Capable but overwhelmed — too many tasks, no clear strategy.
  • Confident but underprepared — underestimating how sharp and authentic an application must be.

Our Solution Project A

Over the course of a year, students work one-on-one with expert mentors to:

  • strengthen test results and academics;
  • uncover their authentic mission and narrative;
  • craft essays that admissions officers remember;
  • and submit polished applications that open doors worldwide.

Who Can Apply
The Selection Process
Admissions Timeline

Applicants should already demonstrate strong
academics, motivation, and initiative

Project A — U.S. College & 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
until 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.

Proof of Excellence

Showcasing achievements that define real impact

Developed at Harvard by psychologists and education researchers, our programs combine academic rigor with psychological insight — creating growth that lasts far beyond admission.

Students work one-on-one with Ivy League–educated mentors who bring both expertise and empathy to every session — ensuring guidance at the level of the world’s most selective education.

Our students have earned admission to Ivy League and Small Ivy universities, as well as top U.S. and Swiss boarding schools including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Rice, and others.

        What if my child doesn’t know what they’re 
passionate 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. What matters is giving them the space, tools, and guidance to discover it. 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.
