for
High School Students
You are invited to Boston Education World’s 2012 Thanksgiving Program (11/17/2012 – 11/25/2012). Boston Education World (BEW)
is a professional member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), and is founded on the president of BEW’s
15 years of experience in education, systematized statistical data, and close relations with prestigious private schools in the greater
Boston area. Most of our students have been admitted to high ranking private secondary schools, such as Phillips Academy, as well
as universities, such as Harvard University. We have prepared a Thanksgiving program again this year so that students can become
equipped with strategies, skills, and exercises for the SAT and contests that will enable them to stand out in their applications. In
addition, we have other activities, such as a campus tour, a presentation on College Application Process and Strategy, sports,
voluntary service, shopping, and a trip to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, so that students will be able to release their stress and
have a great time during the break. Furthermore, given a varied and nourishing diet with Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Western
cuisine as well as our staffs’ thorough guidance and control, students will be taken good care of throughout the safe, effective, and
enjoyable Thanksgiving program. Below is a general schedule of the program.

This program is designed to help students prepare for not only the SAT but also other contests such as The Scholastic Art &
Writing Awards and American Mathematics Contest (AMC 10&12). Each student is expected to finish his or her entries, one for the
