The Best Gift To Give
A Student Is A Future
Harvard University accepted 895 students to the Class of 2024 from a pool of 6,424 who applied under the early action program.
Should your child choose to go to Harvard University or another university, our goal is to increase their readiness with resources designed to get them there.
It was Whitney Young who eloquently stated, “It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one, than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.”
WHERE STUDENTS DISCOVER SUCCESS
WELCOME
Every day millions of families look forward to their children attending school. From pre-K through college, students are being equipped with knowledge and skills that are designed to benefit them for a lifetime.
To summarize our philosophy, as the founder of AchieveAhead, LLC, the song, “Greatest Love of All,” popularized by Whitney Houston, says it best “I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.”
WHO WE ARE
AchieveAhead, LLC is an educational and training company designed to ‘bridge the gap’ between classroom performance and career readiness. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company was founded by Dr. Jeffery Ryans.
Dr. Ryans, a former nine-year educator, fourteen-year corporate executive and seventeen-year entrepreneur, feels the primary reason why most students suffer academically is not because of their lack of ability to learn but more so because of their lack of exposure. “When students discover their interests, their whole world changes due to their new perspective of self-esteem, academic performance, and career development.”
MISSION
Our mission is to provide high-quality and impactful resources that increase student development and helps them to achieve in the upper percentile of their class.
VISION
Bring out the success in every student.

Young Students Are Often Asked...
“What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?”
Studies show career exploration and awareness begins in elementary school. Children also start to realize not only their strengths and weaknesses, but also activities and hobbies they enjoy doing.
In the United States, the national average is ONE school counselor for every 482 students (K-12 Public Schools). With this type of ratio, it is impossible for all students to receive adequate academic and career counseling.
According to recent surveys, an estimated 20 to 50 percent of students enter college as undecided about their major; an estimated 75 percent of students change their major at least once before graduation.
Allaboutcareers.com reveal that 44% of undergraduates are unable to define the industry they would like to work in once they graduate.
Bookstores (retail & online) sell millions of products (books, cards, etc.) each year. Very few products identify and simplify career aspirations that AchieveAhead products provide. We are excited about leading the way!
