If you are considering sending your student to a college or university in the United States, consider an American preparatory boarding school education first. The many benefits your student will receive as a result are invaluable.
GAC offers elite admissions counseling and standardized test preparation services for students considering an American boarding school experience. We recommend that you enroll your student in boarding school in either the 9th or 10th grade, and thus begin GAC services 12 to 18 months prior to boarding school enrollment.
