We have been deeply committed to the MENA region for nearly a decade and have delivered the world’s best college admissions results with over 960 Ivy League offers. With so many talented kids coming from the region, we’re excited to put boots on the ground in Saudi Arabia to support the growth of more students in achieving their ambitions of the Ivy League, Oxford, Cambridge, and beyond,” said Jamie Beaton, CEO of Crimson Education.
