Who we are
Committed to your success.
At Meridian Prep, we offer our students decades of experience in academic guidance and college counseling. We work with students and families to provide comprehensive, personalized counseling and test prep packages designed to meet their needs and goals. Our students have gained acceptances to the most elite universities and colleges in the world, including Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, Yale, Columbia, Northwestern, UC Berkeley, USC, NYU, Duke, and Amherst College, among others.
We also understand that kids are more than the sum of their G.P.A. and test scores. We are committed to understanding our students as individuals, identifying their core values, helping them discover their interests, and guiding them to expand their skills and interests. Our work goes beyond college placement; we teach our students to be self-motivated, and we want them to develop goal-setting and -reaching techniques that will serve them for their entire lives.
ELITE STAFF
Our counselors have graduated from top-tier universities (Top 25 national universities, Ivy Leagues, Master’s Degrees, PhD’s, and more) within the US and across the world. They have experience applying to and receiving acceptances to elite colleges, so they understand the process personally; they also have years of experience working in education and counseling. They help students with every step of the complex application process, from choosing the right courses in school to helping develop the best college essays. Counselors identify areas of improvement for students, create detailed schedules to prioritize work, and even help develop independent projects so your child can stand out from the crowd.
