With the high caliber and competitive nature of the high school admission process, you will feel confident in our approach to helping you find the right high school for your son or daughter.
Why are our students highly sought after by high schools and successful in life beyond college?
1. Green Acres is recognized as a national leader in pre-high school education.
- 90% of our students are accepted into their first choice high schools.

- Our program focuses on developing both core academic and interpersonal skills that are critical in high school and in life.
4. Our graduates have a broad set of skills sought after by elite universities and top employers.
