History

The Core Academy opened its first location in 2006 near Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. From the start, the Academy has always stayed true to its commitment to provide its students with the best test preparation service in the Lower Mainland.

After a hugely successful first year of operation, the Core looked to expand aggressively in order to bring our services to the most number of students as possible, and in 2008, the Core opened its second location in Surrey-Guildford.

In October 2010, the Core simultaneously opened 1 more locations: Vancouver-Kerrisdale.

Since its founding, The Core Academy has helped over 500 students gain admission into the most competitive American universities and private boarding high schools. With the help of our enthusiastic staff members, teachers, students and parents, we are extremely proud to be enriching the educational experience of hundreds of new students each, and every year.

The Core Academy boasts a phenomenal consulting team with years of experience in the field. We offer comprehensive Planning Consulting and Admissions Consulting packages to suit all of our students’ needs. However, all Core Academy students receive continual guidance and assistance from the Academy staff and instructors throughout their academic careers, even if they are not specifically enrolled in our Consulting services.
