My son, 14 years old, took the Mini MBA 1 program last spring at this Academy and a Web Development (Front End) class this summer. Best investment of our time and resources we have been able to gift him so far! I wish we knew about this place before, when our daughter was his age. College choices and possibilities would probably be much wider for her…
These are some of the challenges we have been facing before discovering this program and the transformation we observed:
Our son has been a talented and creative fun child, who’s enthusiasm about exploring possibilities has been steadily going down the more time he has been spending in a public school, doing homework and studying for good grades…
It got to the point that when he was interested (or when we were on top of his responsibilities), he would get straight A’s- usually just towards the end of the school year, and when not interested or monitored constantly, he would get C’s and even D’s… Always getting distracted, forgetful and bored…
After only one class at Zenith, he got inspired not only about researching new possibilities, solving real problems but also, he got excited about life in general. He even started working out in the gym ( his own initiative!) and moving up in Kung Fu . A’s were not a chore anymore but a natural byproduct of his newly found enthusiasm and confidence. His work was done still in school and we have been able to have very lively and mature conversations at home, including conversations about his business 🙂
At the age of 14, my son has an understanding of business that many business owners like myself can be jealous of. He also became very good in negotiation and quite impressive at understating human psychology ( may it be a warning to you if you don’t want your kids become confident and powerful)
He talks about Mr. Frank Song as the “coolest guy and a mentor” 🙂 This aspect is what I value the most about our experience with this place. We appreciate Mr. Song’s generosity immensely. There aren’t many people who will take time to listen to a teen as an equal, and help bring the best out of them in all situations… This is priceless to me. All of the people Mr. Song brings to inspire and teach at the Academy are high quality, educated, successful young people who are still able to connect with the teens but have a wealth of real life academic and business experiences, to help the teens dream and grow big.
I am very excited where my teen is heading. Thank you Zenith Academy!
