Services

Five core services and one standalone track

The core services map to different stages of the journey, from a one-time assessment to multi-year guidance. Science and engineering competitions run as a separate track you can buy on its own. If you're not sure where to start, start with the Pathway Assessment.

Find your tier in four questions Just talk to us

Which service fits

Four questions, one recommendation

What comes out is a suggestion about which service to look at, not an evaluation of your child. We don't predict admissions probability and we don't produce scores of any kind.

Comparison of the five core services
Services	The problem it solves	Best for	Duration	Reference fee
U.S. Pathway Assessment	Can my child study in the U.S. at all? And if so, how should we go about it?	Grades 7–11 · Families still deciding whether and how to pursue the U.S. path	About 2–4 weeks	¥8,000–20,000
Annual Growth Plan	The direction is roughly set — but how do coursework, testing and activities actually fit into this year?	Grades 7–10 · Families committed to the U.S. path who need one year mapped out clearly	12 months	RMB 60,000–100,000 / year
Long-Term Guidance	The plan exists, but our child keeps changing. Who keeps reassessing and adjusting it?	Best entered in Grades 8–10 · Families who want someone managing the whole route long term	2–3 years	RMB 160,000–260,000
North American Access · Full Program	We're aiming higher. How do we build differentiation that's genuinely this child's own?	Best entered in Grades 8–10 · Families targeting highly selective schools who need real differentiation	3–4 years	From RMB 280,000–450,000
Application Season Advising	Given where we are now — how do we pick schools, tell the story, and who checks the materials?	Grades 11–12 · Students in or about to enter application season	About 8–18 months	RMB 80,000–160,000

All prices are for reference. Actual scope depends on the student, and third-party educational costs are billed separately as a rule.

Standalone track

Science & engineering competitions

A standalone offering you can buy on its own, with no long-term engagement required. For families already doing long-term planning, it plugs into the roadmap as one deep line within it.

See the track

Competition Discovery

First, find out whether it suits your child — and what they want to build

Our child says they like science or engineering, but has no idea what they could actually build.

Duration: 3–6 months
Fee: RMB 30,000–50,000 (reference)

Competition Program

Most chosen

Finish a project that's genuinely your own

We want to compete, but don't know how to turn an idea into a project that holds up.

Duration: 6–12 months
Fee: RMB 50,000–80,000 (reference)

Advanced Challenge

A longer, more demanding project

We've done a project. How do we push it to something with real weight?
