He often mentioned, "I'll consult Shivani's perspective," when faced with crucial decisions. This trust has significantly smoothed our entire experience.Shivani is incredibly organized, ensuring we always know what steps to take next. All of our son's application materials are meticulously arranged, with clear and detailed instructions. While Zenith maintains strict deadlines, they are straightforward to follow.

I'm confident that adhering to Zeniths schedule helps us avoid last-minute stress as deadlines near.We also value Shivanis compassionate nature; she is neither arrogant nor forceful. She listens attentively to our ideas and collaborates with us, leveraging her and Zeniths expertise to guide our decisions and ensure everything is completed efficiently.Despite our close work with her, it's reassuring to know that Shivani is supported by a robust team, including experienced editors and former college admissions officers, who review key decisions.

I can confidently assert that enrolling my daughter with Zenith Prep early on was one of my best strategic decisions for her college path. I chose to initiate college preparation as she was nearing the end of 4th grade, which helped eliminate stress associated with the often lengthy and demanding enrollment procedures.Zeniths approach is exceptional. They provide a comprehensive "big picture" vision, along with yearly and monthly plans. This structure allows us to concentrate solely on the tasks at hand each month until the next meeting. Dividing the preparation into manageable, digestible steps is crucial, and having an experienced, intelligent, and knowledgeable accountability partner (our counselor) is the true benefit we received from Zenith.We were paired with an amazing Zenith counselor who quickly bonded with our daughter and guides her through a fun, joyful, effortless, and stress-free method, while ensuring that all planned actions are completed on schedule. My daughter genuinely looks forward to their monthly Zoom sessions, where they review the past month, discuss accomplishments, plan for the upcoming month, assess changes, introduce new activities, and celebrate completed projects.A year later, my daughter has benefited from a full year of guided and strategic planning for her 5th-grade extracurricular activities, participation in competitions, newly selected online classes, summer program applications, visions for the next year, and more.The extensive planning across various areas, breaking it down into manageable parts for my daughter, and consistently checking in with her has been invaluable!Our counselor is a fantastic strategic partner, possessing limitless resources and knowledge about the colleges my daughter is aiming for.I am extremely satisfied with both Zeniths admissions team and our counselors professionalism and friendliness. They have transformed this complex process into an enjoyable journey.

Last year, my daughter enrolled in Zenith Prep Academy midway through her 8th grade, and it has been a fantastic year for both of us. As parents who completed all our education up to college abroad, having guidance from our Zenith coordinator has been incredibly beneficial for every aspect of her academic journeywhether it's choosing the right classes, participating in club activities, or applying for summer camps. The counselor is exceptionally friendly and interactive, with a great ability to motivate students. Even though my daughter is usually resistant to my suggestions, she recognizes the value of the counselor's advice and follows their recommendations! Overall, I am very pleased and grateful that we decided to join Zenith Prep early rather than wait until 11th grade, and the support we've received has been invaluable.
2024
Over the past year, our son's Zenith counselor has expertly guided him through the intricate college application process.

There's no doubt that the counselor is genuinely committed to our son's success. He has supported him not only academically but also in building his profile, which is essential for college applications. We are very optimistic about our son's future and look forward to continuing our partnership with Zenith counselor.

2024
We enrolled our older son in Zenith's program two years ago when he was in the 7th grade, so we're still in the early stages of his journey, yet our experience has been overwhelmingly positive thus far. We truly value the work our counselor has done in establishing trust with our son, maintaining a non-judgmental approach, allowing our sonand our entire familyto stay in control of the process, and presenting valuable opportunities. Initially, I was somewhat hesitant to sign my son up for a college prep program, especially at such a young age, but now, after two years with Zenith, I recognize significant benefits that go beyond merely aiming for admission to a better school. Firstly, it's an excellent way for your child to explore and identify their interests and passions, which will serve them well in life. Additionally, it provides great comfort to parents to have someone supporting you through the process and offering guidance. Our counselor has recommended fantastic opportunities (like courses, research, etc.) to help develop our son's interestsopportunities we would never have discovered on our own. As many parents know, it's also easier for a counselor to motivate your child to try something outside the usual routine than for parents themselves to do so. We've also found the program to be a valuable means for our son to learn how to take charge of his own path and begin interacting with adults in a more professional manner. Throughout his time with Zenith, our son has grown significantly in these areas. The only downside is that the program is pricey, but I imagine this is true for all programs of this quality.
2024

2021
As parents, this was our initial experience with the US college admission process, and we were committed to not taking any chances with our daughter's future. We sought guidance to help us identify the best fit for her and to understand the admissions landscape from a parental standpoint. While it would have been ideal to have a counselor from the start of high school, we only connected with one towards the end of her sophomore year. Despite these obstacles, Zenith guided us effectively in reaching our daughter's goals. They illuminated key elements of the admission process, including Defense and Offense strategies, as well as the significance of a diverse profile.Most importantly, their strategy of balancing defense and offense was a crucial factor in our success. Our daughter received focused advice on improving her SAT/ACT scores and GPA, and importantly, which AP courses would most benefit her college applications. As a result, she was accepted into her dream school, UC Berkeley. We are delighted that she not only gained admission to Berkeley but also to numerous other esteemed universities such as the University of Washington, UIUC Urbana & Champaign, University of Michigan, UC Davis, UC Riverside, UCSD, UC Merced, UC Santa Cruz, Northeastern, Stevens, LMU, Penn State, and more. We highly recommend Zenith for college counseling to other parents.

It has been wonderful working with the team, and I hope we can strategically position my son's applications for admission to top institutions.
2020
We discovered Zenith through Facebook advertisements while searching for a thorough college prep counseling center. In the Bay Area, I couldn't find a service that managed the entire application process from beginning to end. Most centers only assisted with essay writing and test preparations like the SAT, but Zenith was the only one that took full ownership of the whole journey. My son, who is in 7th grade, quickly had his interests identified through a few meetings, and Zenith developed a tailored plan for him. With a keen interest in computer science and aspirations to enter one of the top 10 colleges in that field, Zenith recommended he take a summer course in web design. Starting with no prior knowledge, he completed 15 classes and is now capable of creating professional-grade websites. The course also taught him how to organize his code and enhanced his critical problem-solving skills. Hes now ready to participate in hackathons and has already registered for his first one. We understand that the college application process is lengthy and starting early is essential. We feel confident knowing that our son's college preparation is in capable hands with Zenith.

My 12-year-old son thoroughly enjoyed Zenith Preps "Programming - Web Development" and "Programming - Software Development" classes. We enrolled him in a one-on-one Web Development session where the instructor explained the concepts clearly, and the follow-up exercises were invaluable in solidifying his understanding. For Software Development, we chose a summer group class that was highly interactive, with concepts well-illustrated through practical examples. The practice problems encouraged my son to think logically, solve challenges independently, and address any gaps during class reviews. By the end of the courses, he had built a strong foundation and developed a keen interest in programming. As software professionals, my husband and I appreciated how the curriculum was designed to make complex topics accessible and engaging for kids without overwhelming them. We highly recommend Zenith Preps computer programming classes for students from 6th grade through high school. The quality content, interactive sessions, and effective practice exercises truly set these courses apart from other online options.

We are deeply appreciative of our counselor at Zenith for the extensive knowledge and priceless guidance he has offered our sons. His evident experience, sharp intuition, and insightful recommendations have provided us with resources we might not have discovered otherwise. Moreover, he serves as a positive role model, fostering important character traits such as curiosity and resilience in our teenagers. Collaborating with our Zenith counselor has been a pleasure, and we eagerly anticipate many more years of growth and learning together.
2020
We signed our son up for the Web Development and Software Development courses at Zenith Prep Academy, and it truly delivered great value! Although he had attended coding classes before and already had a natural interest in programming, the sessions at Zenith not only amplified his enthusiasm significantly but also elevated his skills to a new level. He's now independent, having created his own website and continued developing personal projects long after the classes concluded. Ive never witnessed him eagerly anticipating each new class session or feeling so disappointed when they ended. We even proposed adding more courses, like Java programming, which we would gladly enroll in without a second thought!
2024
We are thoroughly satisfied with Emily from Zenith, who served as our son's counselor during his freshman year of high school. Our son feels at ease with Emily and eagerly anticipates their monthly sessions. Emily has skillfully guided us through the various options, aligning them with our objectives, and has also advised against programs that may not be worth the investment. Thank you, Emily, for your support. We are excited about a prosperous sophomore year ahead.

Zenith Prep was instrumental in getting me accepted into my top-choice university. When I had to switch counselors, the team at Zenith was extremely flexible and supportive throughout the transition. My counselor offered numerous opportunities to enhance my college application and provided valuable assistance with writing and refining my essays, which made a significant difference. Overall, Zenith is an outstanding program that greatly improves students' chances of entering prestigious schools!
2021
Since the 10th grade, my son has been working with Zenith for his college counseling, and he is set to attend UC Berkeley this year. Over the past two and a half years, our counselor William has developed a strong mentoring relationship with him, offering invaluable advice on course selection, extracurricular activities, summer programs, community service initiatives, and the college application process. We couldn't have achieved this without William's assistance, especially given the challenges of communicating with a determined teenager. William has been an exceptional coach and a trusted friend to both us as parents and to our son. He genuinely cared about his well-being, understood our needs, and provided timely support and encouragement.We've heard numerous stories from friends about impersonal or unavailable college counselors, but we feel incredibly fortunate to have William and the Zenith team, who are professional, dedicated, and highly responsible. We wholeheartedly recommend their college counseling services!
2024
Our journey with Zenith began in our daughter's freshman year, and it has been a rewarding experience with great potential. The counselor provided invaluable guidance and resources to support her. What stands out the most is his quick responsiveness whenever we have questions. Moreover, the feedback is consistently positive, and he patiently collaborates with both parents and students. We are truly grateful for all the assistance!

From the very start, Zenith left a strong impression on us. The paperwork they provided immediately after we signed the agreement highlighted their meticulous attention to detail and their dedication to supporting students throughout high school. Over the next two years, every document Zenith delivered was packed with valuable information, showcasing their expertise and professionalism, and was tremendously beneficial.Zenith's well-structured team ensures comprehensive coverage of college counseling, including general guidance, strategic planning, extracurricular activities, junior year course selection, essay writing, creating college lists, application processes, and even alumni interviews in the senior year. They meticulously handle every aspect, never overlooking any detail. Their timely and comprehensive communication before each milestone keeps parents not only informed but also reassured.Being from India with no experience in the US education system, coupled with managing a teenager and navigating the high school and college application processes, was almost overwhelming. In these circumstances, having a mentor for our child who could provide guidance, brainstorm ideas, review essays, and ensure deadlines were met brought us immense peace of mind.While many parents typically review their children's college applications and essays, we never saw any of our child's submissions. We fully entrusted the entire college application process to Zenith. This level of trust and confidence was built by the team over time.Many parents describe the US college admission journey as confusing and frustrating. However, Zenith transforms it into a goal-oriented process where the student and their counselor work together through milestones toward their desired objectives. This is the unique advantage Zenith offers. We are incredibly grateful to have found them. Our only regret is not starting with Zenith sooner.Ultimately, the results speak for themselves and serve as the best testament. As a family, we firmly believe that our child's college achievements wouldnt have been possible without Zenith. We cannot thank Zenith enough.
2024
Our collaboration with Zenith over the past few years for our childs education has been outstanding. The counselor assigned to us perfectly matched our needs, providing incredible guidance to both us and our son, which has made us feel very at ease. The entire team at Zenith is highly professional and knowledgeable. Given our lack of familiarity with the US college admission process, their expertise has been invaluable. From the initial onboarding to the present day, I have never doubted the value of their services.If youre new to the US and have a child approaching college in the next few years, and youre willing to invest in their preparation, I highly recommend considering Zenith for college prep.

Im the only member of my family to have graduated from a US college. Eleven years ago, I applied to universities, and by the time it was my sisters turn, the application process had evolved. Our counselor at Zenith played a vital role in assisting my younger sister with her university applications. I wanted her to have the best possible opportunities, and our counselors expertise in regional universities, along with his advice on scholarships, guided her focus effectively. Although he didnt directly offer scholarships, his general guidance was instrumental. Ultimately, she was accepted into a top 25 university and received a full scholarship to a top 50 school. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome! I highly recommend Zeniths services.

We enrolled our daughter in Zeniths college consulting program, and the assistance from William Chung and the entire Zenith team was outstanding. They were always prompt in answering our questions, regardless of the time. Their guidance was crucial in helping her gain admission to UC Berkeley by shifting her college application strategy from computer science to music. They effectively showcased her talents as a musician while also highlighting her potential in the business and technology fields. Thank you, Zenith!
2024
We kicked off our partnership with Zenith at the beginning of our freshman year. Initially, we worked with a different counselor, but after the first counselor had to relocate, we were paired with Yohan.Our experience with Yohan has been outstanding. He and my son have built a strong working relationship, which has greatly improved his time management and allowed him to achieve more within the limited time he has. Yohan has also introduced my son to extracurricular activities he might not have discovered on his own.As we approach college application season, we are excited to continue working with Zenith to ensure the best possible outcomes for our student.
2020
My daughter has been enrolled with Zenith since the 8th grade and is now advancing to her sophomore year. Zenith has consistently motivated her to excel and reliably provides valuable resources to enhance her resume and develop skills outside the traditional classroom.

Choosing a Zenith counselor was one of the best choices I made during my high school years. From the beginning, they were incredibly supportive, easing my anxiety about the college application process. What impressed me most was their genuine effort to understand me.

**When my daughter transferred to a new school, she struggled to settle in and was anxious about college applications. However, Zenith alleviated all our worries. My daughter and I collaborated with Stefan, who provided immense support. As my husband and I were unfamiliar with the American college system, Stefan patiently explained everything we needed to know. He assisted my daughter with every aspect of the college application process, making it much more manageable. His constructive feedback and constant encouragement were invaluable.
2024
My daughter has been partnering with Zenith for college counseling since she was in the 6th grade. Her aim was to receive consistent guidance throughout her middle and high school years. Since neither my husband nor I experienced high school education in the U.S., we believed that securing support and valuable insights from college counselors would be beneficial.Over the last five years, she has grown more self-assured in managing her college plans, to the point where we no longer need to join her sessions. This assistance has been crucial in aiding her choices related to both her studies and extracurricular pursuits. Our counselor, Jayme Dinnerstein, has been a pillar of emotional, social, and academic support for her. Jayme has delivered comprehensive strategies and customized plans tailored to her unique needs and interests. We are eagerly anticipating our continued collaboration with Jayme.

Zenith Prep Academy is a solid choice for families new to the college or university application process. I recommend taking advantage of their free initial consultation to determine if their services align with your student's needs and your family's budget. Similar to colleges, their assistance isnt free beyond the first meeting.We decided not to use their services since our child was accepted to all the Division 1 schools he applied to.Im giving 3.5 stars because if your student maintains straight As or a mix of As and Bs with good to excellent test scores, theyll likely be admitted to a school that offers grants and scholarships when they apply. Their support doesnt affect the admissions decisions; those are based on the students grades, required recommendation letters, and test scores.In the end, its about avoiding payment for something thats already available for free.
2024
Our college prep counselor is outstanding and consistently available whenever we need her. She truly understands our son and provides advice that perfectly aligns with his needs. She's incredibly approachable, making the entire college process feel less daunting. She knows how to inspire him and keeps him striving for excellence in both his academics and hobbies. Her support has greatly increased his confidence and prepared him well for tackling college applications. Were truly grateful to have her guidance.

As a high school senior set to attend a mid-tier UCDavis, Santa Barbara, or Irvinefor Computer Science next year, my immigrant family and I sought college counseling to navigate the unfamiliar U.S. application process. We discovered Zenith a few years ago and decided to work with them. My Zenith counselor was incredibly relaxed and personable, yet highly competent and knowledgeable. Many of my friends had counselors who lacked expertise, but Zenith impressed me with their organization and proficiency. They assisted me with everything from enhancing my extracurricular activities to ensuring I maintained a strong GPA (currently 4.0) and managing my college applications. Although I didnt secure admission to any of my reach schools due to the competitiveness of my program, Zeniths support enabled me to receive the Regent's Scholarshipthe most valuable scholarship at a UCand gain entry into the Honors College at my chosen university. I highly recommend Zenith for their outstanding assistance over the past years. Thank you, Zenith!
2021
We began utilizing Zenith Preps college counseling services for our ninth-grade child, and our experience has been exceptionally favorable thus far. While we still have a few years ahead before applying to our preferred colleges, the advantages are already evident, which prompted me to share this review.We initiated our partnership at the end of seventh grade. Since the overall fees remain consistent whether you start in eighth grade, freshman year, or later, it was ideal for us to begin early without facing additional costs.Starting ahead allowed our child to become familiar with the concept of college, and to delve into their interests through activities recommended by Zenith Prep. We enrolled in the Web Development classes provided by Zenith, which significantly enhanced our childs understanding of the frontend aspects of software. They offer a variety of classes that guide students through both software and business careers.As immigrant parents unfamiliar with the myriad high school options, partnering with Zenith has been invaluable. With Zenith assisting us, we dont have to worry about navigating these choices alone. William from Zenith has been actively advising on the high school paths our child should pursue to stay ahead, always considering their passions. This support keeps our child enthusiastic and engaged. Whenever challenges arise, the Zenith team collaborates with us to ensure we remain on the right path. Managing this on our own would have been difficult, especially with teenagers often resistant to parental guidance.Regular monthly meetings, along with consistent emails, texts, and Slack messages, keep the student, parent, and Zenith in sync and proactive. Today, our child has become more outgoing, frequently reaching out to William with questions. While high school counselors have good intentions, they often cant provide the personalized attention that Zenith Prep offers.When we first started, we were uncertain about how the journey would unfold and struggled with gaps in our knowledge that other parents of older children seemed to have. Seeking alternatives led us to Zenith, where we immediately noticed benefits, such as timely information often provided without our prompting. Over time, Ive been continually impressed by their expertise. Weve explored numerous pathways, and in each case, Zenith connected us with the appropriate tutors, programs, and internships. Their extensive knowledge and strong network have been a tremendous asset to our family.Zenith Prep is also highly flexible, unlike some other college counseling services our family and friends have encountered. They dont appear driven by profit and genuinely prioritize your childs best interests. Its clear when your child achieves a milestone or successthey celebrate with the same joy as the parents, treating each accomplishment as their own. They are fully committed to this journey alongside you.If youre seeking college counseling services, I highly recommend giving Zenith Prep a try. A Satisfied Parent

We brought Zenith on board near the end of our daughter's freshman year. Throughout her high school tenure, Zenith worked in close collaboration with her, offering direction on summer study plans, academic courses, participation in Hackathons, and strategies for the SATs. Amid juggling numerous AP and honors classes in a highly competitive public high school, maintaining a part-time job, and taking part inand winningHackathons, her counselor was consistently by her side. They aided her in managing her time efficiently and following the overall plan, which involved preparing to apply to a select group of colleges and programs that aligned with her personal traits and future career objectives.As parents, our goal was to ensure a low-stress high school experience and an uncomplicated college application process, and we wholeheartedly commend our counselor for achieving that.Our daughter was accepted into several colleges and ultimately chose to attend NYU-Sterns BS in BTE program, which had an acceptance rate below 5% for 2023.Thank you, Zenith!

When I first enrolled at Zenith as a freshman, I had little interest in academics or the idea of attending college. Nevertheless, Zenith encouraged me to put in more effort and seize the opportunities available, ultimately enabling me to gain admission to one of my dream schools despite my previous academic challenges.The program provided insightful emails, regular and spontaneous check-ins with my counselor, and thorough guidance on essays, all of which inspired me to take my future seriously.

Zenith is an excellent program for enhancing a college application!

Our son enrolled at Zenith during his middle school years, and their assistance has been exceptional throughout the entire journey. He took an early software development course, which he loved so much that he's now pursuing a major in computer science. Additionally, he received a scholarship and a research grant from a top 20 university, and we are thrilled with these outcomes. None of this would have been achievable without our counselor's guidance in selecting the right classes, securing prestigious summer research internships, and working closely with him on his college applications to help him stand out. We highly recommend Zenith and their dedicated team!

A year and a half ago, when my son was in 8th grade, we decided to enroll him in Zenith Prep Academy after seeing one of their YouTube ads. Looking back, it was the best decision we've made. Having moved from India, I was unfamiliar with the US education system, and the stress of college searches and application preparations was overwhelming. However, the counselor at Zenith has significantly eased my worries. I no longer have to scramble for resources to help my son get into his preferred colleges. Plus, my son is enjoying the entire journey. We hold monthly meetings to discuss strategies with the counselor, who is not only knowledgeable but also highly effective in working with teenagers. His patience and resourcefulness are commendable. There are moments when I struggle to connect with my son, but the counselor steps in seamlessly. I wholeheartedly recommend Zenith to everyone. Thank you, Zenith!!

My son began working with a Zenith counselor in the 10th grade. Their initial meeting was an in-depth session filled with questions about his academics, extracurricular activities, and personal interests. Following that, they held check-ins every few weeks to assess his progress and plan future steps.These discussions were crucial in managing his hectic schedule and cultivating a focus on what truly matters for our family. The counselor guided him in setting short-term objectives while reinforcing his long-term aspirations. I noticed a significant improvement in my son's dedication to his studies, as well as his self-discipline and time management skills. It can be challenging to motivate teenage boys, but I'm grateful that the Zenith counselor helped instill healthy learning habits in my son that will benefit him for years to come.During his senior year, the Zenith team provided close support throughout the college application process, ultimately helping him gain admission to his dream school. We are extremely pleased with the guidance and hard work the Zenith team offered throughout this journey.

Zenith has truly been a blessing for our family. As an immigrant and a busy parent with a sophomore son, navigating the college admissions journey was quite overwhelming. I came across a Zenith advertisement on YouTube and decided to set up a consultation, initially expecting it to be about classes and a college prep camp. However, during our conversation, a few initial questions shifted our entire perspective on planning for college admissions. Despite feeling that the fees were on the higher side, we opted to sign up. We were incredibly fortunate to have IAN as my sons counselor; his guidance surpassed what I could provide. Zenith thoughtfully addressed all my concerns regarding the admissions process with their strategic approach. They assisted my son in applying for research opportunities and other areas we were unfamiliar with. The Zenith team is composed of experienced individuals and graduates from prestigious universities, and our counselor was instrumental in helping my son identify his true educational goals. Last week, my son received acceptance letters from several top universities, achievements we believe wouldn't have been possible without Zenith's dedicated work and planned pathways. I am grateful for Zenith's support, especially the continuous guidance from his counselor over three years, helping with everything from minor grade fluctuations to selecting classes before the new year, projects, college applications, and essay writing. I highly recommend Zenith's tailored approach; it's worth every penny.

Our counselor assigned to us is an excellent match for my son, adjusting priorities based on his abilities and goals. She's been amazing and always ready to help whenever we have questions.
2024
We decided to join Zenith in our child's junior year when we were uncertain about his future college major. The sheer volume of information available made it daunting to navigate alone, and we would have spent countless hours and energy trying to find our way. Fortunately, Zenith was there to support us, and our counselor Shivani was outstanding, providing invaluable assistance in determining the next steps. After several sessions, she identified the key areas that needed focus and created a plan that made us feel assured about our progression. Shivani has an excellent ability to recognize strengths and areas for growth, and she is incredibly responsive and proactive, continually offering feedback, checking in, and supplying resources for any tasks we needed to undertake. She meticulously reviewed the essays, and after a few rounds of revisions, we were very happy with the final results. We are deeply grateful to Shivani for her patience and dedication in working with our son, which made the college application process much less stressful. Our son was accepted into two of his top choices and ultimately chose the University of Texas at Austin.Looking back, we wish we had started with Zenith a bit earlier to allow more time with Shivani, enabling her to help us choose the right AP subjects sooner. Overall, Zenith provides fantastic resources and tools that can greatly enhance any student's chances of being accepted into their preferred colleges. I highly recommend Shivani to any high school student seeking guidance in the college application process.
2023
"At the outset of this review, I want to express a broad and heartfelt sentiment: I simply can't imagine what we would have achieved without the Zenith team.Today, college applications are more intricate than ever. Even if your child has a 4.0 unweighted GPA along with numerous extracurricular activities and leadership roles, admission to a top-tier college isn't guaranteed. Additionally, crafting essays, navigating the technical aspects of applications, and the overall stress of senior year add significant pressure.I believe that it was with Zenith's support that we were able to navigate the entire college process from the very beginning as freshmen. College acceptances aren't solely determined in the final months of applying during senior year; they are influenced by early projects, extracurricular activities, and maintaining good grades starting in freshman year.I especially want to thank my daughter's dedicated counselor at Zenith. He was not only an outstanding mentor academically but also took the time to listen and respond to my random texts throughout our journey, helping us support and guide my daughter emotionally during high school. I'll always remember his encouragement the night before my daughter achieved a high SAT score!This fall, my daughter will be attending a first-tier college, thanks to her own hard work and determination, as well as the guidance and expertise of her counselor and the Zenith team. Seeing her growth over the past four years makes me confident that she will thrive in university as well."

I began the Zenith program during my second year of high school and certainly kept my counselor, Shivani, busy since I was unsure about my future plans. Lacking specific interests, she had to start from scratch with me. However, Shivani is truly wonderful and supported me every step of the way. She never pushed me to choose a major or interest, even though it might have been simpler, and instead helped me find extracurricular activities that matched me.Working with Shivani on the college application process greatly reduced my stress. Without her assistance, I probably wouldnt have started until November, which is the Early Decision deadline. Fortunately, she encouraged me to begin during the summer. She has been a tremendous help with my essay writing and ensures I stay on top of deadlines, something I really value. While my friends are still talking about not having started their personal statements, I'm already on my third draft. Overall, Zenith and Shivani have been instrumental in making my high school years productive, and I truly appreciate all the effort they've invested in this journey.

I am especially grateful to our counselor for accomplishing what I was unable to. Thank you.

Investing in a child's career development, especially during high school, is something I firmly believe yields immense rewards. Even a modest 5% improvement in their career growth and attitude is a worthwhile return on investment. After hearing positive feedback about Zenith, we decided to enroll my son in their career enrichment program. We are incredibly grateful to have joined this program, as Yohan has been exceptionally supportive in answering all our questions regarding admissions, college choices, summer programs, and more. Additionally, he has shared his vast experience and expertise with my son, helping him navigate his career options and set meaningful goals.
