iii. Academic Planning
A considered plan for an exceptional student
Guidance for unique and high-achieving students, planned around one student's strengths and goals rather than a template.
The choices that shape a student's options
- Courses and pathways. Which courses to take and when, including acceleration and summer study.
- AP and IB selection. Which subjects and levels best fit the student's strengths and goals.
- Contests and enrichment. AMC, Euclid, physics and science contests, and the programmes worth the time.
- Research. When a research project makes sense, and how it connects to the student's direction.
- University strategy. Building a strong, coherent profile and applying to the right programmes in Canada, the United States and abroad.
- Applications. Essay coaching and interview preparation, with advisors who understand what selective universities look for.
