As soon as she settled into Columbia International College summer camp in July 2023, Nicole Ni made the decision to become a full-time student. She applied for the CIC Elite Pathway Partnership (EPP) program and got accepted. Congratulations!

Nicole: “My parents came with me to CIC. They visited the school and the residence. They learned about safety, wellness, meals and student support, which made them feel comfortable and worry-free.”

The EPP Program, an exclusive 2-year initiative in collaboration with the University of Toronto, is crafted to provide high-achieving students with the utmost competitive advantage, preparing them for the prerequisites necessary for admission to the world’s top universities.

Over the next two years, alongside her Grade 11 and 12 classes, Nicole is set to become a part of the Duke of Edinburgh, take part in Ontario DECA, going on an international volunteer trip, and participate in the Model United Nations International Conference in New York City.

Additionally, Nicole will be attending the University of Toronto tours, application workshops, seminars and career counseling sessions. Her dream is to study business or economics program at the University of Toronto.
