100% of our graduates are accepted to college...most with multiple offers...most with scholarship offers...many finish college in three years.

Is your child already in high school? Call to schedule an info session and learn how transferring to an excellent small private school can improve your child's chances of top-tier college admission tenfold. No "learning centers" or expensive "consultants" will be required.

Is your advanced child being well served at your current school? Cambrian Academy helps capable middle school students attempt and complete some of their high school credits before officially entering grade 9. We provide BOTH the opportunity AND the safety net to make this possible. For example, some of the 10-year-olds we accepted six or seven years ago have now been accepted to top universities, including Columbia, Duke, George Washington, UC Berkeley, and Michigan. Our youngest graduate (16 years old, class of 2017) was accepted to MIT.

Even "average" students can perform well above your expectations when in the right learning environment.

No bribes, scandals, or controversies. Each student's college path is customized to match academic skills, personal interests, and long-term compatibility. It's not only about getting into good colleges. We want our students to succeed in good colleges. Sometimes a smaller college with a large scholarship is the best match. Sometimes a suburban environment works better than an urban environment, or vice versa.

If you wish to visit the school, please call ahead. We want to make enough time available to answer all your questions. (We also need to ID all adults entering the campus.)
