In high school, every moment matters. From the classes your child takes to the hobbies they engage in outside the classroom, they’re building a resume that shows colleges who they are and what they can achieve. At Zenith Prep Academy, we’re here to foster those interests and help students cultivate the right blend of academics, extracurriculars and test preparations to appeal to the Ivy Leagues.
Essential College Prep for Ninth Graders
Our counselors work one-on-one with students from grades 6-12 to help them build up all the things that top colleges are actually looking for: unique extracurriculars that show initiative, concrete achievements that show a student’s ability to plan and execute, a challenging course load that shows a student’s academic preparation, and a sense of joy and curiosity that goes beyond the accumulation of awards and grades.
The Importance of Extra Curriculars
Having a 4.0 GPA is great, but students must do more to secure Ivy League acceptances. Our pre-college planning program for ninth graders invests in students’ interests outside the classroom and encourages them to go beyond the standard things that a student might do like play on a varsity sports team or just be a member of a coding club at school.
For a student who is interested in tennis and wants to major in biomedical engineering, we can help them get started researching the muscular structure that helps create the perfect serve and present that work at science fairs. For a student who enjoys being part of the coding club at school, we can guide them on how to find hackathon competitions to take part in to really show of how they can innovate quickly and collaborate with others.
Embarking on Career Exploration
The most successful college students know how their passions can build towards an exciting future. When colleges hear an applicant saying that they want to major in premed or embark on a career in finance, the college wants to know if that student actually understands what they are talking about (colleges know that only 17% of students who say they want to do pre-med actually complete that path).
Our counselors help students embark on career exploration early, helping them learn how to build their resume, reach out and find internships, and get concrete experience. That way, then a Zenith student applies to college, they can actually speak with conviction and excitement about how they want to use the opportunities that a college offers.
Building Time Management Skills
Of course, great grades, unique extracurriculars, and proactive career exploration are only possible if the student has the time to do all of these things. Zenith counselors help students develop first-rate time management skills so that they can balance all these different parts of their life.
Strengthening Parental Support
Whether they show it or not, your child depends on your support as they embark on some of the most important projects and applications of their entire lives. Zenith Prep Academy is here to ensure students and their families receive the support and encouragement they need until the moment they hit “Submit Application.”
