WHY?
We believe all students can be highly successful. Those who explore and design their future college and career plans at an early age will have more time, options, and resources to become better prepared to succeed in their future. Students can only aspire to become what they know. We exist to educate, inspire, and guide all students who want to #BeSuccessful.

We provide students the knowledge, skills, and guidance to accomplish their future college, career, and life goals.

WHAT?
We partner with visionary leaders from school districts, education service centers, and post-secondary institutions who believe that college, career, and life success is possible for all their students. We actively seek these essential partnerships to accomplish our joint mission of preparing students for college, career, and life success.

IGNITE EARLY COLLEGE & CAREER READINESS

We empower students to design their future. By working in partnership with school districts, education service centers, and post-secondary institutions, we engage students in career-themed academic enrichment activities and real-world mentorship opportunities to provide the best college and career readiness experience.


Family Engagement Sessions consist of engaging activities to prepare parents with the knowledge and skills needed to guide their children on the path to college and career success. Our mission is to create a harmonious culture among families, where post-secondary education achievement for all children is no longer seen as an uncertain option, but rather as an expectation for prosperity.
Bringing a different approach to student learning and comprehension, these unique State Test Preparation CAMPs are aligned to the ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies State Tests at the Elementary, Middle, and High School levels. We use one-of-a-kind facilitation strategies in combination with academic enrichment hands-on activities, complementary curriculum, and exciting competitions to master the State Tests.
