A short story about us
We want to simplify it and make it easy. We want to help you achieve excellence through global education and sports. By streamlining the path to international education through personalized strategy, planning, preparing and guidance, we aim to create a world where every student and athlete has the opportunity to excel on a global stage. We offer expert guidance on admissions, test preparation, and scholarship acquisition, and match you with the option most well suited to your goals. You dream it, we help you achieve it. It's that simple: we make studying abroad easy.
We know the struggle because we lived it.
We've done it before.
We were once desperately lost students who felt helpless at the prospect of finding an institution and a program abroad. There can be a lot of intimidating paperwork, quite a lot of uncertainty, foreign vocabulary, english tests, high academic standards to maintain. There is also the big question - how do I know which one is the right choice for me? We didn't always know, but we've learned all about it and we are ready to guide you through the entire process.
Our experience in the business.
We've worked with multiple aspects of the academic, hospitality, and sports industry. From the entire process of applying to graduating with Bachelors and Masters Degrees, to years of experience working at all sports levels, hospitality, and customer service: we've been there before. We built fully integrated packages to be there the entire journey - from planning and preparing to starting your dream program. Our team has experience in hospitality, sport management, travel management, language learning, academics, and administration.

Finding the right fit for you.
As athletes, we know what discipline looks like - but we also know how essential guidance is. From trying to find an English program that could prepare us for exams, to looking for translators, reaching out to hundreds of coaches, uploading youtube videos, maintaining athletic performance, keeping grades high - we've had to overcome many obstacles to even make it. And after finally making it to a NCAA DI program, we've noticed often a mismatch between athlete and program - many athletes were overlooked and placed in sports teams that were not a match for their talent. We knew how hard each student works to make it to that level and how much each family has to sacrifice to pursue this opportunity. One thing we knew for sure: this had to be done the right way, as each student deserves.
