Inspiring
students for a
global future

At American U-Prep, we empower students during the crucial years of their education, helping them achieve academic excellence, cultivate leadership skills, and confidently embrace their independence.

It All Started in 2021

In 2021, we saw a growing need: European and Mideast students with incredible potential were missing opportunities to study at top U.S. universities. We set out to change that by creating a program dedicated to bridging the gap between European and Mideast education and the U.S. admissions system.

A bold mission
was born

Our mission is to provide European and Mideast students with the tools, strategies, and confidence to stand out in the U.S. university admissions process. By focusing on personalized mentorship and in-depth preparation, we make ambitious goals achievable.

It takes experts

to open doors

Our team is made up of seasoned mentors, admissions experts, and U.S. college graduates. Together, we’ve helped students earn acceptance into Ivy League schools, prestigious liberal arts colleges, and renowned STEM programs.
