The Current Expedition

The Glow of Discovery – Unlocking Nature’s Living Light

The presence of the Latia neritoides—the world’s only bioluminescent freshwater limpet—is more than a biological anomaly; it is a glowing testament to the hidden complexities of New Zealand’s ancient ecosystems. At The Glow of Discovery, students don’t just observe the dark—they illuminate the unknown through rigorous field entomology and aquatic research.

The Architecture of Excellence: A Three-Tier Evolution

Education is not about collecting skills; it is about the continuous expansion of perception.

YES! MAGIC Club

The Scale of Impact

Using the MAGIC Pathway, students move from "Backyard to Global" thinking, applying their interdisciplinary knowledge to real-world social entrepreneurship.

01

YES! Camp

The Interdisciplinary Lens

We break the walls between Biology, Physics, Geography, Chemistry, Social Studies, Law, and Economics. Camp is the "Data Input" phase where students learn to see the deep connections between subjects (The Natural Laws).

03

YES! Scholars

The Philosophical Depth

The pinnacle of the journey. Scholars integrate Natural Laws with Moral Laws to produce original Capstone projects that reflect world-class leadership and an authentic worldview.

Growth is a Journey

Real Journeys Create Real Stories

Our alumni prove that a spark of curiosity at age 13 becomes a global academic path by age 18.

YES, I can do this!

Sabrina Lu 2017 YES! Camp Alumnus
Washingto University in St. Louis (Environmental Science)

Before going to New Zealand, I wasn't sure I could stand against the majority for what is right. YES! Camp showed me that a 'sustainable future' isn't a utopia—it’s a reality we build through courage and action.

Flight Through Fog

Jacky Peng 2017 YES! Camp Alumnus
University of Minnesota (Food Science)

I arrived as an exam-taking machine, lost in a fog of homework and games. YES! Camp was the lighthouse that helped me find my flight path toward improving the environment and fighting poverty.

Beyond the Theory: Solving Complex Real-World Problems

David Zhang 2024 YES! Camp Alumnus
The University of New South Wales
(Electrical Engineering (Honours) + Master of Biomedical Engineering)

I really saw the value of interdisciplinary thinking, especially when engineering, science, and social factors come together. The experience pushed me to think more practically about real-world constraints. Overall, the camp shaped how I now approach complex problems and reinforced my interest in interdisciplinary learning at UNSW.

Design Your Path to Authenticity

Thanks

Thank you for applying.

YES! Scholars reviews every application carefully.
If we feel there may be a good fit, we will invite you and your family for a conversation.

If not, you will still hear back from us — with respect.

Application Form

Applying does not mean committing.
It simply opens a conversation.

There are no “right” answers here. We’re simply trying to understand how you think.
Activites at YES! Scholars are not “tasks to complete.”
They are journeys that evolve over time.
It’s okay if your answers change. We’re interested in how you’re thinking now.
YES! Scholars is a guided process that unfolds over time.

Student Quiz

There is no “right” starting point.
What matters is whether you keep moving forward.
The most meaningful projects rarely begin with certainty.
YES! Scholars focuses on C
because that’s what grades alone can’t show.
If you want support turning curiosity into real exploration, let’s keep going.

Parent Quiz

Most universities are really looking for C.
Projects are evidence of future potential — not trophies.
A student who can explain how they explored, adjusted, and reflected is often more compelling than one with polished but shallow results.
YES! Scholars chooses B
slower, deeper, and far harder to fake.
If you are looking beyond activity lists, you may want to explore YES! Scholars.

What do universities really look for in “activities”?

1 minute. No right or wrong answers.
Just a different way of thinking.
