Prepare for university and your future.

This programme is designed to help international high school students prepare for the coming challenges of post-secondary studies and professional life in a supportive and academically stimulating environment. Combining critical exercises in self-reflection with an exploration of the study and career options available to them, students will come away from the programme with a better understanding of their own identities and life goals, and how to strategize for their futures. Mindfullness sessions give students the tools needed to manage stress or anxiety as they face the challenges of pursuing a successful future.

At the end of this engaging 3-week course, students will have a meaningful chance to reflect on the knowledge and skills they have gained, allowing them to share their thoughtful ideas and perspectives with their classmates in a supportive and collaborative setting.
