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.”

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.

CAREER CHOICES
A Comprehensive Career Guide For
Students, Teachers, Counselors, and Parents
Middle School ・ High School ・ College ・ Beyond
Studies show that students should begin exploring career options as early as middle school, typically around 6th to 8th grade.
A career exploration at this stage can encourage informed decision-making, self-awareness and motivation as students enter high school when, if not shortly thereafter, course choices can impact future career options.
According to recent studies, 44% of college graduates don’t know what they want to do with their career. The reason behind this uncertainty is due to the lack of exposure to a variety of career options, the absence of career guidance, and the stress of having to decide on a path for life while still in high school
Social Media: What kind of impact has this tremendous stream of content had on students, particularly with regard to their capacity to plan for their future life and direction?
