Jumpstart Your Journey to the Ivy League Preparation Program

An Exploration, Coaching, Reflection & Mindset Expansion Program for Grades 2 to 6/ Primary 2 to Primary 6

Are you looking to learn how to help your child get a jumpstart on Top-tier Ivy League Admissions & Scholarships so they will be super prepared when they are older? The ASIS School will help them develop their creative potential and Unique You Brand through this exclusive student program.

Our Jumpstart Your Journey to the Ivy League Preparation Program will guide your student in all preparation areas, including tuition/coursework selection, highest-yield extracurricular activities, creative mindset development, thinking outside the box, promoting specific talents, brainstorming potential interests, interactive creative models, self-confidence verbal expression training,  and self-reflection activities.

The Jumpstart Your Journey to the Ivy League Preparation Program is for Grades 2 to 6/ Primary 2 to Primary 6 as a preparatory program for the University Global Scholars Program (UGS).  The earlier you start, the better prepared your student will be!

When Dr. Laffey can help a student develop over time, it is a smooth pathway to success. The longer a student waits to seek out professional help, the more backtracking and catch-up work must be done to prepare them to apply with the best application possible.

Our Jumpstart Your Journey to the Ivy League Preparation Program will work with your children, and take them from where they are now, and help them discover who they want to become. Through hands-on personal development activities and guided self-reflection projects, we will help them to develop the highest-yield extra-curriculum plans so they do not waste time on activities, worthless competitions, or courses that provide little benefit to the future of their academic and social success. Some of our exercises include interacting with nature, community, family, and art to build the ever-important creativity skills demanded by top-ranked universities. Our program targets the development of a creative mindset that will prepare your children to engage with the world, ensuring that they are on track to achieve admission and scholarships to their dream schools!!
