Beyond acceptance: a journey of deep personal development

  • Overview
    We have a simple mission: Do you know the Chinese super kids that have patents, intern at NASA, and get accepted into Harvard? We want to do that -- here, in the region. Our mission is for the next richest person on Earth - in 2050 - to be an EDAD alumni, and we're not that far off. We launched EDAD in 2021, with a group of only 12 students. Of them, here is where some are today: - Project Manager at the Donald J. Trump 2024 Election Campaign - Youngest Saudi CFA Recipient at age 19 - Intern at JP Morgan - Intern at Bain - Intern at Ministry of Energy and many more. We have developed a unique framework for truly developing leadership in youth and allowing them to unleash their potential. All of the students above joined us as normal highschoolers who did not even know what to do. So - we went through our standard process with them, which you can find here, to unlock their potential. In basic words, what we do can be divided into 3 sections: 1. Discovery: What is the student good at, and what are they passionate about? 2. Development: How can they build a product or join a company, or do research, and build a resume? 3. Story: How can they frame their story in a unique way that makes them stand out in comparison to their global peers. Through this program, our goal is for students to be remarkable and move on to the next phase of their lives, university -- particularly, the best universities globally.

  • The colleges we focus on
    Our focus is: - Top US Colleges - Top Canadian Colleges - Top European Colleges - Top Asian Colleges - Top British College [Only for A-Levels/Full IB Students] Despite that, we offer complimentary support on: - Saudi University Applications - UK Foundation Year Applications However, it is important to highlight that this program does aim for Foundation Year acceptances in the UK only. The main goal, however, is developing the student overall so that they are qualified to study anywhere in the world, and succeed after that in their academic and professional journey. We look at our work as a phase in a continuum of their human development, rather than a "college acceptance service"
