For Parents & Counselors
Showcasing our students' passion and brilliance through research.
Passion must be discovered, and cultivated. At CCIR, our students discover, cultivate, and showcase their passions by embarking upon research projects under the personal tutelage of leading Oxbridge academics.
Why do research with CCIR?
Personal and Intellectual Growth
Research not only allows students to gain a depth and breadth of knowledge that they can acquire in no other way, it also naturally cultivates invaluable skills and dispositions for students of discipline, organization, and curiosity.
Mentorship with Oxbridge and Ivy League Faculty
A great mentor can be a powerful catalyst for growth in a young person’s life. All CCIR mentors are current Oxbridge and Ivy League researchers and professors. Our mentors are not only experts in their field but also passionate educators. In virtue of our small class sizes, our students and our mentors naturally develop close personal relationships, which lay the foundations for strong letters of reference.
Our alumni go on to
Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, UPenn, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, NYU, MIT, UC Berkeley, Emory, UNC, Pomona, Cornell, LSE, Yale, Duke, Stanford.
A Unique Admisions Edge
Admissions at the top universities look essentially for two things: academic excellence and personal drive—and nothing showcases this quite like research. Research demonstrates not just academic excellence, but also determination, organization, and maturity. And the value of research is something admissions officers—as academics themselves—understand.
A Network of Knowledge
CCIR’s commitment to rigorous academic standards means that our students find themselves working alongside other brilliant young minds. Our students hail from around the world; they are national IMO, IBO, and they are the next generation of scientists, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, activists, and leaders. (see our student profile).
Journal Publication Guidance
Publishing requires know-how. Our expert team will not only help your student transition from high school to academic writing, we will also actively assist them in getting their work published.
