to Graduation

We help families navigate the U.S. education journey with confidence — serving as your personal consultant and advocate throughout the entire process.

Comprehensive matching across 40+ states and hundreds of institutions. We evaluate fit, ambition, academic profile, and budget to identify the right options — then manage the entire application process.
End-to-end athlete placement. Highlight reel creation, coach outreach, roster negotiation, scholarship positioning, and integration into the right college or club program.
Full admissions coordination, I-20 processing, visa guidance, travel logistics, housing, insurance, and a structured arrival plan so students land in the U.S. with confidence.
Regular check-ins, issue resolution, academic monitoring, and family communication throughout the student's time on campus. We stay involved — this is where most agencies stop and we don't.
Career pathway advice, OPT/work visa guidance, and transition planning for students looking to stay in the U.S. or leverage their American degree internationally.

Institutional Partnerships

International
School Partnerships

We work with international schools and educational organisations seeking a trusted partner to guide their students into the U.S. education system — becoming your in-house expert on American pathways.

Our goal is to become a school's in-house expert on American education — providing families with reliable guidance, clearer pathways, and hands-on support throughout the recruitment and placement process.

Rather than offering one-off advice, we help schools build a stronger, more structured pathway for students who are considering an American education.

Through our partnership model, schools offer their students access to specialist expertise across academic placement, student-athlete pathways, admissions guidance, visa support, and long-term planning.

For Sports Clubs & Academies

Sports Club
Partnerships

We partner directly with clubs and academies to make U.S. college placement a flagship service — giving your players genuine access to American universities and scholarships without any burden on the families.

We handle everything on behalf of your players and their families — evaluation, highlight reels, coach outreach, scholarship negotiation, visa coordination, and ongoing support once players arrive in the U.S.

Rather than a transactional referral service, we become your club's dedicated U.S. recruitment partner — providing co-branded materials, parent information evenings, and regular reporting so your club leads with confidence.

Elite club partners also gain access to our exclusive ICAP program — high-level campus soccer environments at partner universities that create a direct pipeline from your academy to American collegiate sport.
