ARE YOUR child's
extracurriculars
GOod ENOUGH FOR THE ivy league?
getting into a top college isn't just about grades. It's about standing out.
Here's the reality:
- 35,000 students graduate as valedictorians every year.
- 1.1 million volunteer.
- 1.8 million play sports.
That means your child’s résumé—sports, club leadership, community service—likely looks just like thousands of others.
Admissions officers don’t want a well-rounded student. They want a well-rounded class. And the only way to stand out is through a focused extracurricular profile with clear, measurable results.
That’s exactly what we’ll unpack in our free 1-hour virtual workshop for parents.
You’ll learn:
- Whether your teen’s current extracurriculars will help or hurt their application
- Where they rank today for Ivy League/T10 admissions based on their EC profile
- How to decide which activities to double down on—and which to cut—before it’s too late
If you want to give your child every advantage in one of the most competitive admissions landscapes ever, this session is a must-attend.

Why I Love the Prequel Program
As a current student in the Prequel program, I've found it to be an incredible experience filled with mission-driven activities like beating the Harvard Mt. Everest Simulation and interviewing inspiring CEOs. The excitement of what's next always keeps me engaged and eager to learn.
The program has given me the opportunity to connect with classmates who share my enthusiasm and motivation. Together, we've formed a supportive and dynamic community where teamwork and collaboration thrive.
During my time at Prequel, I've gained invaluable skills in building a portfolio, running a business, and networking, among many other areas. The enthusiastic teachers make every class not just educational, but incredibly enjoyable.
I recommend Prequel to anyone ready to explore innovative ways of applying their knowledge to real-world projects.
Transformative!
As a mother witnessing the transformative power of the Prequel program on my daughter, I am filled with awe and gratitude. This remarkable program not only kindles her sense of exploration and wonder but also cultivates her critical thinking skills in ways I could have never imagined. Watching her work collaboratively with other students to tackle challenges has been a joy to behold, as it fosters a strong sense of teamwork, adaptability and agency.
I am beyond impressed the…
I am beyond impressed the transformation Prequel has given my son. Not only has it increased his confidence and thirst for knowledge in topics that are beyond a 12 year old but has peaked interest for the holistic understanding of world issues. Areez was always interested in tech but he has learned the journey and pathways tech is inter-related; can debate; promote a business; and most importantly be a global citizen. Thank you Nadim and Zain the program is beyond my expectations and is truly fostering global leaders.
My kids love Prequel
My kids love Apollo. They make learning fun and interactive by playing games, working in groups etc. I like that the curriculum is really catered towards the kids. It is not stagnate and boring where you hear a lecture for so long. They break it up and about every 10 minutes they are moving it along to another activity. The stuff taught here is not the stuff the teach in school. It is more real-world preparation. I would highly recommend.
A great community
A great community of children with incredible mentors to understand important life concepts.
