What they say about us“Here in AHEAD we were able to mingle with other students from different schools. We shared ideas and knowledge about different topics. We were introduced to a new environment thanks to AHEAD, an environment where most students struggle to adapt to because of the rapid changes in our lives from SHS to College. And also here we gained knowledge that did not only increase our intelligence also our self-esteem.”
–Wilfredo Gutierrez Jr.

TESTIMONIALS
Good instructors and healthy classroom environment. Also, the simulation tests were a great help in my time management during the actual exams.
Pete Manuel Lozano Roxas
Ateneo de Manila University, CSB
It was fun and light, other review centers I’ve heard of where pressuring and the students didn’t really understand the lessons there. AHEAD was fun and I learned a lot in a short period of time.
Caroline Mirae Castillo
De La Salle University Manila, University of Santo Tomas
The teachers were both good and patient with students. The review materials are more than enough to be prepared for the test proper which definitely helped a lot.
