What our students say...
See what say about their BESt experience.
Before coming to the program I was bullied from my fellow teammates and lost a lot faith in who I was and what I stood for… I experienced so many things that not only lifted my spirit but started a fire in motivating me to be the person that I have envisioned… and I have applied to Spelman, Xavier University in Louisiana, and Howard University in Washington D.C.

The Princeton review class was instrumental in my six-point score increase on the ACT test. The prep class taught me how to interpret and answer the problems properly, in my preparation; I supplemented the class with numerous timed practice tests.
