Testimonials

Nishit V

Harvard University

Arnav Agarwal went through the Secondary School Program at Harvard University in the summer of 2019. It was a 7 weeks programme. It gave him a glimpse of the college education culture in the U.S.A. It was a liberal arts
programme where different types of disciplines such as humanities, philosophy & economics were offered. Arnav primarily took an interest in economics, but he also got to learn about courses he wasn't previously aware of. It inspired his decision to study abroad for his college education.
I recommend their services and personalised approach.”

Cornell University

Avya Malhotra's experience of the Summer Session at Cornell University completely changed his perspective on college education. The programme was only for a month. For him, more than the courses, the people he met
during the programme had a huge impact on him. They inspired him to pursue his goals with determinations
and hardwork. According to Avya, summer school was not only important for his holistic development, but it also helped him build & maintain connections.
