In today’s competitive environment, top grades and test scores no longer guarantee admission to a top university. Beyond academics, schools seek passionate and motivated leaders who have a purpose to make a difference in the world.

think STEP’s Triangle of Talent™ philosophy helps students discover that purpose in order to strengthen their academic profile, build up resumé accomplishments, and link both together in their personal story and admissions essays.

think STEP believes that writing, communication, and social skills are the pillars for future success in academic and leadership settings. Students must begin preparation in middle school in order for think STEP skills to exponentially increase their admissions opportunities.

Once in the 11th and 12 grades, think STEP students are prepared to demonstrate English fluency in writing-intensive APs, standing out from international students who only have AP math and science scores.
