A half century of experience:

Our brother and sister institutions around the country provide us with a network cultivated over 50 years and a track record of success in enrolling alumni into the most prestigious universities in the world, among them Oxford, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Penn, Columbia, Stanford, MIT and many others. The Heights School in Potomac, Maryland, serves as our flagship and model.

In the 1960s the Harvard College admissions office realized that every inner city student from Washington, D.C. who had been admitted had gone through a supplementary education program called The Heights, which in 1969 became the School. They sent an admissions officer to find out what on earth was being done so well!
