Why do I need AEG’s services and programs?
The reality of top school admission is that the majority of applicants are not accepted. The prospect of applying to a top ranked school or an Ivy League university is threatening for many students; consequently, a great number of students never apply. Often they settle for an institution which is not recognized at a local or global level.
Some students apply every year with no success, while others apply for several years before they are accepted. AEG demonstrates a high rate of success helping students gain admission with their first application.
At AEG, we regularly meet with key admissions’ personnel and carefully analyze the admission criteria and interview process at each institution. The strengths frequently identified by students and parents are typical of most applicants; consequently, these do not provide students the competitive edge needed. Top school admissions’ officers advise us that students require an academic and personal competitive edge that sets them apart from other applicants.
AEG’s top school admissions’ team uses our assessment tools to customize a program which helps students distinguish their academic and personal strengths, setting them apart from their peers.
How do I become a successful applicant?
At AEG, we know that helping a student stand out from other applicants requires not only the experience of our experts, but also the ability to think outside of the box to help a client identify, develop and present the true leader within. The top schools are looking for well-rounded applicants with unique talents and interests, local and international volunteer experience.
The earlier a student identifies the leader within, the more successful the student becomes. Depending upon the strengths and goals of an individual, our customized plan varies. Our assessments allow us to understand an individual holistically. They allow us to identify the competitive edge of each individual and plan a program based upon an individual’s strengths.
The academic support we provide at AEG is diverse. The tutoring programs allow a student to achieve an outstanding grade point average and standardized test scores. Our coaching program helps students to set goals, monitor their progress and maintain a positive attitude while achieving short and long term goals.
AEG offers services to fully support a student’s personal development. We use our assessments to identify a student’s potential, the academic and personal strengths, as well as the areas a student needs to improve. Based upon this information, our educational planners customize a plan to successfully help the student stay on the right path and reach personal goals in the most efficient and effective way. We also provide the experts and mentors to help individuals develop their artistic, musical, or athletic talents.
We help high IQ students find the right gifted programs and special needs students to find the right supporting educational resources. AEG’s social skills, etiquette and image consultants train students to display confidence, polish manners and social graces. The leadership training and volunteer opportunities that we provide for students, locally and internationally, further contribute to a student’s competitive edge.
Our customized admission’s plan allows a student to break through the glass ceiling and achieve excellence in all aspects of academic and personal life.
Which school is right for me?
Every parent wants to choose the best educational environment for their children. Making the wrong choice can lead to long-term disappointment and life regrets. Making the right choice can be a daunting task for students and parents. At AEG, we support students and their parents, where appropriate, at each stage of their decision-making journey.
AEG has the most up to date research on the programs and new admission trends of each school or university. Whether students are in their preschool or primary years, middle school or secondary years, or scholars seeking to complete undergraduate or graduate degrees, we help students to make the right choices.
Knowing yourself is the first step in selecting the school which is right for you. Based upon our psychological assessments to determine an individual’s strengths, interests and talents, our AEG experts provide students with the school options that best meet their individual needs.
At AEG we carefully monitor a student’s progress, address parents’ and/or students’ questions, and adjust the plan, when necessary, to meet short and long term goals.
We have developed strong connections with many of the local and world’s top schools.We accompany students and their parents, when appropriate, to the schools, making sure their questions are answered.
How can I prepare for an interview at a prestigious school?
Because the admission competition is fierce, the interview often provides the information a school requires to select the best candidates. Our top school advisors explain that those students who display confidence and strong leadership skills have a strong advantage when applying for admission to a top school or university.
AEG provides the training necessary to present the best of you in an interview. Our Behaviour Psychologists help students identify and understand their unique strengths and talents. Our team of experts train students to communicate effectively, conduct themselves with poise and confidence, and use appropriate body language and facial expressions, to mention just a few important interview skills. They teach individuals to use their strengths to display the leader within.
What do I need to consider when choosing a top ranked private school?
We work closely with families helping them to clearly understand many factors involved when choosing an appropriate top private school. Factors to consider by parents and their children when selecting a school include: location, gender (boys only, girls only, or co-ed), class size, and facilities. Top private schools also cater to students and parents looking for a religious affiliation or adhering to a particular pedagogical method, such as Waldorf, Montessori or IB.
Common reasons used to select a top ranked private school:
- Acceptance rate to Ivy League universities
- Smaller class size
- Unique academic programming (e.g. Montessori, IB, AP, etc.)
- Extra-curricular opportunities
- Competitive facilities
- Dedicated family support
- Strong alumni network

Our Testimonials
We wanted to send our two daughters to private schools, but we did not know much about each school and how to apply effectively. AEG helped us choose the school that best fit our daughters’ needs: one is in York House School; the other is in West Point Grey Academy. Both of them enjoy their respective schools very much. To make our daughters stand out among other applicants, AEG strategically designed educational plans for each of them to strengthen their personal and academic attributes. This helped to make their applications very unique. AEG really understands how to successfully prepare students for private school applications. Both of our daughters are still benefiting from AEG educational services. Their current goals are to prepare for the Ivy League. As parents, we are confident that AEG is the institution which will ensure the best development of our daughters to achieve academic success.

We applied for Collingwood and Mulgrave School after the application deadlines and did not hear back from the schools. We thought that it was not possible for my daughter to get into these schools. Our friend referred us to AEG to see if there was any hope. AEG staff analyzed my daughter’s applications and contacted both schools. Due to a low SSAT mark, my daughter had not been accepted by either school. AEG really has strong connections with these schools and helped my daughter to get a 2nd interview opportunity with the admission staff in order to re-evaluate my daughter’s admission. Before the interview, AEG strategically designed an interview strategy so my daughter would stand out among other applicants. Now my daughter has been accepted by Collingwood School. We know that she wouldn’t have had this opportunity without AEG’s connections with the school and their strategically designed interviews. AEG is the best.
