Crown Scholars For Grade 10–12 | UK Program

Introduction

The Forward Thinking Mentoring program is highly personalized, beginning with a
deep understanding of each family’s educational values and goals, as well as the
student’s strengths, interests, and individual needs. Whether a student is aiming for
the most competitive universities or would thrive in a smaller, more nurturing
environment, we provide a carefully curated range of options to ensure the best-fit
university for each student.

What makes our team different is our collaborative, team-based approach, led by seasoned educators and experienced college counselors with deep knowledge of both national and international admissions.

We bring together a range of expertise — from former admissions officers and subject specialists to academic advisors and mentoring professionals — to provide each student with comprehensive, well-rounded guidance.

This approach ensures that every aspect of the student’s journey is supported, from academic planning and extracurricular development to essay writing and final university selection.

You’re not just working with one counselor — you’re benefiting from the collective experience and insights of a dedicated team focused on helping your child find the best-fit university and thrive beyond the application process.

What makes our team different is our collaborative, team-based approach, led by seasoned educators, experienced college counselors, and dedicated Student Support Specialists.

What Sets Our Team Apart

Expertise. Collaboration. Care.

Our Student Support Specialists play a key role in tracking progress, providing accountability, and ensuring students stay on top of goals, deadlines, and development plans. They act as an ongoing touchpoint between mentoring sessions, giving students an added layer of encouragement and structure. Our Student Support Specialists can also help with study schedules, revision strategies and personal projects. Having gone through similar academic stages and challenges, they can easily identify students who need just that extra push, structure, or encouragement.

With this integrated approach, families benefit from the collective expertise of a committed team — all focused on helping your child find their best-fit university and thrive throughout the journey and beyond.

Crown Scholars

The Crown Scholars program is designed for students entering the Forward Thinking Mentoring journey in Grade 10 (Year 11) — a pivotal year where academic expectations rise and future planning becomes increasingly important.

At this stage, students are expected to deepen their academic focus, make meaningful extracurricular choices, and begin shaping the profile that will ultimately be presented in university applications. Joining the Propel Program in Grade 10 provides a strategic advantage: it allows for long-term planning, skill development, and consistent support during a critical and often demanding academic year.

Starting mentorship now also gives our team the time to build a strong, personalized relationship with both the student and their family. This long-term engagement helps us guide students with insight and continuity as they progress through high school.

The Crown Scholars program is ideal for students aiming to apply to universities in the UK. It offers comprehensive, end-to-end guidance — from academic and extracurricular planning through to university applications and final decisions post-graduation.

Prioritizing Student Wellbeing

Student success is closely tied to emotional and mental wellbeing. We build strong, trusting relationships with students, providing mentorship that supports not only academic progress but also personal growth, resilience, and balance.

Developing Student Profiles

We guide students in building a compelling and authentic profile over time — one that showcases their academic achievements, passions, extracurricular involvement, leadership, and community impact. This profile becomes the foundation of a strong and distinctive university application.
