What if I told you that if you are entering your Junior year of high school and could already have your college essay for the common app complete?

During his five weeks at enrichment at Villanova, Dante spent time in various academic courses including Writing College Admission. 

Meet Aleena Beydoun from Queens, New York. This past summer, Aleena participated in the Internship program at JKCP. But that is not the first time that Aleena had spent part of her summer with JKCP. Aleena is a seasoned veteran, as she participated in the Enrichment program in previous summers. During her time at Enrichment, she didn't know about the Internship Program, but when she learned more about it, she knew it was something that she had to do.

Meet Juan Davila from La Coruna, Spain. Before spending three weeks at our summer program, Juan competed in Master Chef Junior in Spain. Master Chef Jr. is a cooking competition show that is very similar to the show in America, Iron Chef. The competition lasted one and a half months. The competition consisted of group work, individual work and a creative challenge. The highlight of his competition was a breakfast dish. This dish involved eggs, ham and bacon with a side of fruit with whip cream. After the month and a half, Juan finished in 3rd place overall. What would bring a high school student who has accomplished a lot to JKCP?
