That Prepares Your Teen
for the Future?
What Parents are worried about
and what this Guide helps solve
Choosing a summer program isn’t easy – especially when you want it to be meaningful.
Here are the most common concerns we hear from thoughtful, future-focused parents:
- “I don’t want to waste thousands on a program that just entertains—but doesn’t teach my teen anything useful.”
- “I want my child to see what it’s really like to live and study in the U.S.—especially at top schools.”
- “How do I know this experience will help with future decisions—like choosing a career or applying to college?”
-
“As a parent of a foreign student, I need to know my child will be safe, understood, and surrounded by the right kind of peers.”
