Starting early
It is never too early to begin
Students join us at every stage from grade 8 to grade 12. Starting early simply gives your child more time to grow as a researcher.
Build skills early
Your child learns how to research and write at a high standard while there is still plenty of time to practice.
Explore their interests
An early start leaves room to try more than one direction and discover the subject they truly love.
Build a body of work
Students who return each year can go deeper, building a portfolio of connected projects.
Younger scholars work on projects sized for their stage. Juniors and seniors are just as welcome, and a single strong research paper can make a real difference.
