Partnership with Zenith has been nothing less than amazing and amply satisfying. Zenith's strength lies in the fact that they push kids to find their best selves and not spoon-feed them.

Zenith Prep Academy allowed me to get accepted into numerous top 20 schools, and my dream school (UCLA)! They guide you through every step of the college admissions cycle and give hands-on advice for essays, extracurriculars, etc. My personal counselor was super funny, kind, and awesome!

We signed up with Zenith in the fall of our son's 10th grade. He was already an excellent academic student in a very competitive high school, but we wanted some advice and expert opinion in improving his ECs, and building a more competitive application for his college journey. We were first paired with a counselor, Melissa, who was nice, but within a couple of months Zenith replaced her with our current counselor Ian. Ian and his team have been very helpful in our son's academic and extracurricular journey and throughout the writing process. Ian was able to answer many of our questions and clarified any misconceptions we had. I would like to emphasize that our son did most of the work himself in planning and executing his ECs and initiatives, but Ian was able to guide his time wisely in optimizing his interests and building his profile. Our son is going to Stanford (his dream school) and he got into all the UCs, CMU CS, among many other T20 schools. We are incredibly grateful for the help Ian and Zenith provided. There were definitely a few hiccups along the way in terms of planning and communication, but we are pretty satisfied with the end result.

Zenith assisted my daughter to navigate the college prep . Choosing colleges was so stressful but Samantha guided her in choosing colleges and the monthly webinars really gave us insight . She was always available to answer our questions. We really had a great time with her! My daughter has become more confident and she is ready for college! You will never go wrong when you choose Zenith Academy to prep your child! Thank you Zenith Academy , thank you, Samantha!!!

Zenith was great in guiding our two oldest kids during high school, helping them (and us as parents!) navigate the tricky college landscape. They were a great sounding board and resource - we felt like we could ask our trusted counselor anything and received thoughtful responses and guidance because it always seemed like she had the best intentions for our kids. I always felt like I could ask her to push our kids a little bit more at times, but most of the time, she knew how to push just enough while keeping our kids grounded and level headed through the whole stressful college application process.

Our family has been truly fortunate to have Sam in our children’s lives. Her depth of knowledge and genuine compassion for both teens have been exceptional. She has guided them not only through the college process but also in developing lifelong skills. We are very grateful for Zenith—and especially for Sam.

The counselors are very on point, organized, helpful, patient, and well-prepared! Especially, Jasmine Huang! She was amazing and always had a lighthearted attitude! She really made me enjoy my time with her and didn’t make it feel like just a chore. Our calls always ended up taking more time than allotted for because I enjoyed talking with her so much! Overall, I think Zenith Prep Academy does a really good job at helping prepare kids for the future and in helping apply for college! Not only was the process thorough, it also eliminated the possibilities of submitting anything less than great! Without the guidance I received from them, my applications would not be as amazing as they were. I learned so much and it really made a difference!

So far, our experience with Zenith Prep Academy has been very positive. Our counselor provides personalized, well-structured guidance tailored to our child’s interests, along with clear direction throughout the college preparation process. He is consistently organized, supportive, and responsive, offering the necessary resources and thoughtful recommendations for extracurriculars and summer programs. His approach helps simplify decision-making and build a clear, strategic application plan. As parents of a high schooler, we have found our counselors long-term planning and steady encouragement especially valuable. He supports activity selection, application positioning, and overall confidence building, making the process more focused and manageable.
