“This program has been a game changer for my son. The level of education is outstanding, and the way they integrate real-life laws into the lessons makes the material both accessible and exciting. From constitutional law to international human rights, he’s getting a well-rounded exposure to the field of law. The Socratic method keeps him engaged and teaches him not only to analyze but also to engage in thoughtful debate. I can already see how this experience has made him more mature and articulate. I’m excited to see where this takes him.”

“As a parent, it’s not always easy to find a program that both challenges and excites a middle schooler. The curriculum is thorough and broad, giving my son a deep dive into various areas of law, from criminal justice to constitutional law. The Socratic method is a brilliant approach that encourages him to think critically and engage with complex issues in a way he never has before. I’ve already noticed a growth in his problem-solving abilities and his confidence in discussions, both at home and in school. We couldn’t be happier with his experience.”
