GRADE 1–8 LEADERSHIP & ACCELERATION ACADEMY
Most kids start preparing for college in Grade 11. We make sure your child started in Grade 1.
98thPercentile: the academy that builds Ivy-ready profiles year-by-year, not in panic mode.
OUR PROGRAMS
Four programs. One trajectory.
Math + ELA from Grade 1. Public Speaking + Coding from Grade 3. The system tells us when each one is ready.
ELA
GRADES 1–8Reading, writing, structured argument. From paragraphs to publish-ready argument.
See inside →Public Speaking
GRADES 3–8A muscle, not a workshop. From first speech to competition-ready.
See inside →Coding
GRADES 3–8From real apps to AI models. From Scratch blocks to Python and AI builds.
See inside →WHY THIS WORKS
Profile = Time × Effort.
8 years of compounding > 24 months of preparation.

THE PATHWAY · US SYSTEM-ALIGNED
8 years with us. 4 years on it.
This is the only place on the page outcomes live. Eight years compounding into the next four: every milestone your child hits with us, and what it unlocks in high school.
WITH 98THPERCENTILE ACADEMY
What's built in Grades 1–8.
GRADES 1–3
Reads independently. 1 grade ahead in math. Enters intermediate school already accelerated.
GRADES 4–5
First Olympiad attempt. First speaking showcase published. 2 grades ahead in math by Grade 6.
GRADES 6–8
Real apps and AI models shipped. STAAR prep. Publish ready essays. Original work and leadership artifacts compound.
AFTER 98THPERCENTILE
How it pays off.
GRADES 9–10
Walks into Precalculus ready. Honors track locked. Builder's portfolio ready.
GRADES 11–12
SAT in target band. Application writes itself. 8-year through-line, not 18-month panic.
THE THREE PILLARS
Three things colleges actually look for.
Most programs build one of these. We build all three, that's how the Academy is different.
-
Academic Acceleration.
Reading and reasoning two grades ahead by Grade 8. Signals capacity for college-level work and the foundation for honours, AP, and Dual Credit in high school.
-
Leadership.
Responsibility for something: a club, a project, a younger student. Signals agency: the impact and initiative admissions reads in activities.
-
Original Work.
Something made, not just completed: written, built, shipped, performed. The part of the application that doesn't look like fifty thousand others.

SKILL · 01
Communicate with clarity
Watch them turn scattered thoughts into one clear signal.
SKILL · 02
Think critically
Watch them see the pattern others rush past.
SKILL · 03
Lead under pressure
Watch them lead the call when every eye is on them.
SKILL · 04
Build things that work
Watch them design it, build it, and prove it works.
Acceleration is the academic half. This is the leadership half. We don't teach these skills as a separate class.Instead, every Math, ELA, Coding, and Speaking session builds them into the work itself, so the child who walks out of class is a grade ahead and the one classmates turn to.
NATE PLATFORM · BUILT IN-HOUSE
Live class is where they learn it. NATE is where they stick it.
Weekly Live Classes is where new ideas land. The five days between are where they turn into mastery, but only with practice. That's the gap we built NATE to close. We made it in-house, not licensed or outsourced: just 15 minutes of daily practice, and the steady reps that turn each lesson into something your child truly owns.

Stories from inside the Academy.
Kavi
"My daughter has been enrolled for Math and ELA classes and she has been enjoying and learning from the classes. The teachers are great and they teach in a fun way. I highly recommend 98th Percentile for all parents who are looking for enrichment programs for their children. Thank you 98th Percentile!"
Varchas N
"My experience at 98th Percentile is very helpful because they teach us things that are way above our level. The teachers are nice and very helpful too. They answer all our questions. Therefore, 98th Percentile is great."
R. Kasireddy
"98th percentile has been great for my daughter! She's been learning Math and ELA for 3 years, starting when she was in 2nd grade. 98thpercentile helped her develop a strong foundation in math concepts and excel beyond her grade level. She's also improved her vocabulary and writing skills through ELA. A big thank you to teacher Ram and Prabhleen for their engaging and well-structured classes. Highly recommend!"

PARENT FAQ
The questions you're actually asking.
Isn't Grade 1 too early to think about college?+
No, and that's exactly the gap we're closing. "College" isn't what we start in Grade 4; leadership, original work, and curiosity-driven acceleration are. Those things compound. By Grade 11 they read as a coherent profile, not a last-minute scramble.
What if my child isn't "gifted"?+
The Academy is built for capable children, not prodigies. Our placement test calibrates the program to your child. We've taken Grade-3 kids working at-grade and had them 2 grades ahead with a leadership artifact by Grade 6.
How many hours a week?+
Two live classes each week (50 minutes each) — one class per week for Public Speaking — plus self-paced practice on the NATE platform. Total of 4–6 hours per week depending on the grade band.
Online or in-person?+
Live online. 4 students per class, taught by a real instructor, not pre-recorded. We chose live online because it lets us pair your child with the right cohort by skill level, regardless of city.
