How
consultants will help
Topic selection
Work with Ariton consultants to find the right topic for you, right at the intersection of your hobbies, long-term study goals and high-impact social and environmental issues that are worth addressing.
Format selection
Whether you wish to create an online community, raise money for a good cause, publish a research paper, or start a new NGO, the Ariton team will help you structure the long term project strategy and select the most fitting format for addressing the problem at hand.
The Passion Project strategy
You will work on your Passion Project for at least 12 months, and most likely for 2-3 years of high school. We will help you work out the optimal structure and plan of action for making the Spike happen while managing your studies and other activities at the same time.
Execution
Our consultants all have extensive project management, academic research, and entrepreneurship experience, and will help you execute your project, providing support every step of the way.
Managing tasks and sub-projects
You will be completing your Passion Project in parallel to your exams and other school and extracurricular activities. Ariton consultants will make sure you are on top of all the tasks involved so you complete Spike in time for your application.
Crafting a college profile
Upon completion of your Passion Project, you need to make sure your achievements and reflections are adequately captured in your college application portfolio. The Ariton team will help you draft the perfect Passion Project report and include your achievements in your college essays.
