What is your MINDSET?

It is NOT whether you “already have it”

• We do not accept students here based on whether they can already do what we require
• Its about having a willingness to learn

​

It IS simply, you don’t have it, YET!

• We look for students who are:
• willing to go further
• willing to work through “productive struggle”
• willing to grow
