Meet our first student of the month for 2013, find out about our 2013 Scholarships and meet our new tutors.

Student of the Month

We are excited to present the first Student of the Month for 2013. OurJanuary Student of the Month is Brianna Pell. We felt that this student fit the bill of what a student of the month should be. Although Brianna is extremely intelligent and receives terrific grades, she was not chosen for those reasons. She was chosen because of her need to keep improving and to not settle for anything less than the best that she can do. Brianna proves that even an A and B student can strive to be better and continue to push to achieve more. Click on the link to learn more about this wonderful young lady.
