Middle School Program
How do students get the most from their education? By understanding that what they are learning relates to who they are, what they are interested in, and who they want to be in the future. That is the underlying ethos of Future InSight. An ideal time for students to start preparing for their future is when they are choosing their courses during middle school. We provide expert guidance for students to optimize their experiences by exploring interests, developing strong work habits, and challenging themselves academically as high school approaches.

Writing Only Programs
With these programs students create impactful, revealing essays (Common App), and if applying to the University of California, responses to the required Personal Insight Questions (PIQs). In doing so, a student will present their best self in applications, allowing admissions officers to see who they truly are and the unique qualities they have to offer their schools. Time permitting, supplemental essays will also be addressed. An optional add-on is to have full support in completing the Activities Sections for both Common App and UC or state schools.
