As another summer comes to a close and the new school year begins, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on everything Zinkerz has accomplished during the last academic year.
A New Chapter for Zinkerz
To begin, this past year marked an exciting milestone for Zinkerz: we officially received accreditation from NEASC. This accreditation will allow us to continue developing toward our goal of becoming an online school where students can take courses for academic credit.
As a result, we are opening the door to new opportunities for students and families. This was a major accomplishment for our team, and we are incredibly proud of the work that went into making it happen. Looking ahead, we are excited about the new pathways this will open up for Zinkerz and our students.
SAT Success
In addition to this exciting development, our SAT students have continued to see significant results through Zinkerz’s personalized approach to test preparation.
- 375+ points: Average SAT score increase
- 88%: Of students increase their score by 300 points or more
- 95%: Of students reach their target score
These results are a reflection of the dedication of our students and the personalized support provided by our teachers and team. Furthermore, we are incredibly proud of the progress our students have made throughout the year.
AP Courses
Similarly, our AP students have continued to excel in their courses. As the College Board continues to introduce and update AP courses and exams, our team works throughout the year to ensure that our curriculum reflects the latest changes and gives students the preparation they need.
As a result, our AP students achieved impressive results this past year:

ZinkerzCamp High School Journey
Beyond our academic programs, we also expanded our summer offerings this year by launching a brand-new camp experience: ZinkerzCamp High School Journey.
This summer, students entering 9th or 10th grade traveled to Babson College from around the world for a week designed to help them build a strong foundation for high school. Throughout the week, students worked on public speaking, research and writing skills, and academic preparation. At the same time, they participated in team-building activities, explored the Boston area, and made new friends along the way.
ZinkerzCamp College Journey
Meanwhile, our well-established ZinkerzCamp College Journey SAT Camp also reached new milestones this summer. We welcomed 91 students from 19 different countries for two weeks of intensive SAT preparation, university visits, educational programming, and plenty of fun.
Throughout the two weeks, students balanced focused academic preparation with opportunities to explore colleges and universities, experience Boston, and build lasting friendships. Ultimately, it was an exciting summer of learning, growth, and new experiences.
College Counseling
Alongside our academic and summer programs, our college counseling team is now gearing up for another busy application season. Over the past academic year, our counselors continued to help students identify their goals, develop strong applications, and find the colleges and universities that are the right fit for them.
In fact, Zinkerz students have continued to achieve impressive admissions results at some of the world’s most renowned universities. For example, while Georgetown University’s overall acceptance rate was approximately 13%, the acceptance rate among Zinkerz students was 67%. Similarly, while the overall acceptance rate at the University of Pennsylvania was approximately 4%, 27% of Zinkerz students were admitted.
These results demonstrate the impact of personalized guidance and the hard work our students put into the college application process. More importantly, they reflect our team’s commitment to helping every student find and pursue their own path to success. Check out our site to learn more about Zinkerz College Counseling Services
Looking Ahead
Ultimately, the 2025–2026 academic year was one of growth, new opportunities, and exciting milestones for Zinkerz. From earning NEASC accreditation and celebrating academic achievements to launching a new summer camp and supporting students through the college admissions process, we are incredibly proud of everything our students and team accomplished.
As we begin another academic year, we are excited to build on this momentum, continue growing our programs, and see what the year ahead will bring.
Most importantly, we cannot wait to continue helping even more students Dream, Learn, and Grow.
