Who it's for

One record. A few different doors.

Distinction is the same product for every child: a coach, real projects, and a permanent record from birth to 18. The child's own coaching begins at ten. But families arrive from different directions. Pick yours.

Six very different objects arranged together on a table.

You know where you want them to get to

Medicine, engineering, computing, business, law and more. What each path actually requires, and what to do this year.

Families

Your child is anywhere from a newborn to 18 and you want their childhood to produce more than grades. Start at the beginning.

Families who move often

Military postings, expat contracts, a life across countries. The record that moves when you do, and turns the moves into the story.

For mobile families →

Charities and scholarship programs

Run your scholars through Distinction as a cohort, give every mentor visibility, and show funders longitudinal proof of impact.

For charities →

Schools

Every student gets a coach and a record. The school gets one aggregate view of the whole year group, and evidence it can hand to a board or an inspector.

For schools →

Consultants and mentors

Your families arrive with a dated, organized record instead of a memory exercise. See a sample evidence pack.

For professionals →

Mentors

You have been asked to mentor a child. What you can see, what you can write, and what needs the student's yes, all stated before you agree.

For mentors →

For students

A coach for projects you actually want to do, and a record that keeps what you make until you are 18. The honest deal, in your own words.

For students →

For younger students

Ages 10 to 12. A grown up just sent you this. What Distinction actually is, who gets to see your work, and what happens when a project goes wrong.

For ages 10 to 12 →

Not sure yet

Ten questions, three minutes, and a written read of your own child. Free, no account, no catch. Start here before you decide anything.

Beyond grades

Searching in the vocabulary of admissions, what universities want beyond grades, standing out, the extracurricular record. The record that does that work, built from age 10 to 18.
