For over six years, our business has been unlocking human potential and helping students from various demographic backgrounds and education systems achieve their dreams. Our programs focus on delivering educational services that both complement and supplement curricular experiences that students receive at their academic institutions. Since our founding, we have combated the unrealistic promises of agents, ineffective support from schools, misinformation among parents, and the proliferation of for-profit high schools to become one of the most established firms in China. And we’re growing!
