For High Schools
We partner with high schools to turn academic serendipity into clear, confident decision-making.
Partnership programs
The formative years in high school often determine one's life trajectory, and despite carrying such weight they are often a result of serendipitous interactions with peers, teachers, and others. Our mission is to transform the serendipity into clear and conscious decision-making by supporting students along their academic decisions that ultimately lead them to universities. We do so by cooperating with high schools, providing presentations to their classes by our mentors, and offering one-on-one consultations.
Our presentations include topics such as:
- General academic options for high schoolers.
- What subjects can I study and how?
- How to master the application process to universities.
- What scholarships are, where to find them, and how to get them.
- How to finance your studies.
- How to write a motivation letter.
- General academic decision-making strategies.
- Academic negotiation strategies.
- And many more.
Such presentations can be done at the school or classroom scale depending on the topic and the individual school demands. Of course, the smaller the class size, the more the students benefit.
Our goal is to make sure students feel comfortable and confident with their decisions and do not regret their academic choices. A recent study in the United States found that roughly every fifth student regrets the subject they obtained a bachelor's degree in. In contrast to the United States, where students may decide their area of specialization after a year of being at university, in Europe students decide what to study even before entering university, and so such numbers could be even higher and decisions regarding their studies carry an even bigger role. Around one in three students change their major during their studies.
