Our Mission
Our mission is to provide students with a challenging academic environment that promotes personal growth and discipline, develops the knowledge and skills necessary to unlock their academic potential, and ultimately assists them in gaining admission to the colleges and universities of their choice. Furthermore, we believe in instilling a passion for learning and promoting high standards of academic ambition in our students, encouraging them to develop their talents and passions so that they may reach their full potential both academically and personally.
Our History
In 1987, Elite founder J. Patrick Park opened a small tutoring center in Rowland Heights, CA. From those humble beginnings, Elite has expanded to more than 50 locations across the world, and has helped thousands of students realize their academic goals. At Elite, our goal is to provide not only preparation for college, but learning for life.
“Every time I take a class here, I get better. I’ve learned a lot about my academic strengths and challenges. Plus, I’ve made lifelong friends at Elite!”
