Rise above the mist
Let’s go on a journey – to the ends of the earth and the other side of the street, as far as we need to go to get away from the familiar and the routine. Good or bad; scary or wonderful: we need unruly places that defy expectations…. We are heading for uncharted territory, to places found on few maps and sometimes on none. They are both extraordinary and real.
- Alastair Bonnett, Off the Map
Mission Statement: To ensure that more diverse voices of high merit apply to global, elite universities. To inspire students to consider the richness of a fully international university experience. To give all top-tier universities a chance to amaze students via direct presentations. To expand 'diverse' and 'elite' to be more reflective and inclusive in education.
​​​
What We Do: Inspiring unshakeable confidence that stays with you for the rest of your life - a confidence in how to read, write and speak with great effect to any audience. To walk into a room of other bright talents and dazzle in a way that is uniquely yours. Our students are welcomed into the most hallowed halls of learning - from major research institutions to premium Liberal Arts Colleges, from world-renowned Public universities to highly selective Private universities, we know the world of Higher Education back to front.
Our Methodology: We ensure that at the most defining moments of your life, you are ready. We do not lie, cheat, or steal - we highlight you. You write your own story, and present yourself in your own unique way, but we develop that inherent potential in you until it becomes absolute splendor. We are 'Wizards of Words', a prep and action team with experience in how to make applications sing powerfully, and authentically. We show you how to better frame what the sum of you is really about (including your hobbies, extracurriculars, life experiences, hopes and dreams). We coach you on and up, lifting your confidence, demanding you live up to your potential, teaching you how to write compellingly and interview with aplomb. This is not a 5-minute process, it requires time and hard work, but we get there every single time.
