What students and parents are saying... 

Ata, Grade 12

"I completely recommend the Ivy League Challenge, I only wish I would have done this sooner. I think if possible students should start this the summer before 9th grade or even earlier. My life is so much better after I learned these things about myself. There is no better way to live life than the way the Ivy league Challenge teaches."

Xiao Yu

"You will NOT believe what I’m about to tell you! I got into both Harvard and Princeton! I’ve been feeling so dizzy the past two days..."

Regina McGrath, Proud Parent

"My daughter attended the program over three years ago, and looking back I see how that training helped her conquer her challenges. Because of your program, she knows what she wants in life and how to get it. She is living her life fully and I find I never have to worry about her success anymore, she is rocking life! Thank you."
