Why attend Summer School?

Parents who prefer to send their children to study abroad hope that their children can receive an international education, broaden their horizons, and make prior plans for their future growth. When it comes to studying abroad, parents and students are often concerned about following two questions:

Will I be able to successfully adapt to studying abroad alone in the future?

How am I able to apply to and gain admission to a reputable university?

A preparatory step for a successful application for top universities

The application process for Summer School resembles that of an application for full time studies at a prestigious school. The admissions officers will examine students based on GPA, academic background and extracurricular activities, application material, letters of recommendation, and even written tests. Therefore, this application process will provide universities with a future point of reference. The official certificate of the Summer School greatly improves successful pass rate of the applications for prestigious universites.
