Worried that a short school year has left your student behind?

Unsure about what your students in Grade 9 & 10 & 11 should be doing if they are interested in attending Ivy League schools?

Want to boost your student’s writing abilities & overall profile? 

Don’t let coronavirus harm your student’s academic future - our program is here to help. With our world class partners, we have designed a weeklong experience to help prepare students for the rigors of college writing while simultaneously giving them an elite edge in the College application process. 

Our Leadership Academy is a college level writing bootcamp with an innovation lab forsustainable service projects your student can continue over the course of their pre-college career.

20% of Blueprint’s students have been admitted to a top 20 University and 88% of their students have received admission to a top 30 University.

Blueprint was founded in 2014 by a team of educators and admissions professionals with extensive experience in China. It is American-owned and operated with every instructor and consultant graduating from a top-tier US-graduate school, university, or liberal arts college. 

Over the past 6 years, Blueprint has helped thousands of international high school students with their academic support and admissions.

Blueprint has partnered with WildChina to help take college applications to the next level. Blueprint’s unique English Language Arts program utilizes a curriculum of engaging and relevant literature to provide students with foundational knowledge and analytical skills to help them excel in their high school coursework while preparing them to be standout university applicants and students.

Our program has two distinct components: Service& College Prep

Service: 
We help students bootstrap service projects, starting from conception to execution and setting them up for meaningful experiences in high school that allow them to not only give back, but differentiate them from the average applicant. 

We start by introducing students to the idea of global citizenship on a one-night camping trip. We then take them on an incredible hike where they learn about sustainability first-hand with our amazing local partners. 

We complete our own service project and then help them start their own service projects - while giving them the tools and insight necessary to sustain their projects long after the camp is completed.  

Service culminates in a chance to present their ideas in the ‘shark tank’ to local NGO leaders.

College Prep:  
We start by introducing students to the writing process: Where do they start? Using Blueprint’s proprietary college counseling curriculum. 

Next, we help them with a rough draft of their own personal narrative (a useful experience no matter what their level is! ). We help them roadmap the rest of their high school career-including what extracurriculars (like our service) would be the best fit for them and which courses to take during and between semesters. 

We finish up by going through a mock admissions exercise which helps students feel ready for whatever their next step is.

Outcomes:

• Sustainable service projects that students can continue long after camp

• Personal narrative drafts

• High school career roadmaps

• Global Citizen badge

• Behind the scenes look at the college application process

• Preparation to be the next generation of leaders
