Capstone

Capstone Founded in 2003, Capstone Educational Group has been the leader in teaching writing, critical thinking, and debate and providing admissions consulting in Asia.

The driving force behind Capstone Educational Group is its students. Founded on the belief that talented students thrive on a robust education that nurtures individual strengths, Capstone has been the critical thinking and leadership pioneer in Hong Kong and Asia for over a decade. From the beginning, Capstone recognized the need to mentally prepare students for not only an increasingly competitive academic environment, but an increasingly competitive world. Simply finding answers and memorizing information are no longer enough in an international landscape that prizes growth, flexibility, and innovation. We saw that our students needed to be able to ask questions and solve problems. We saw that our students needed to be able to analyze, defend, and present their ideas with confidence, poise, and grace. We saw that our students needed to find solutions – not just the kind that would get them a perfect SAT score, but the kind that would cultivate their professional growth as they pursue new possibilities for their future. Our students learn to make new strides, not follow in the footsteps of others. As a testament to our belief and to our education, nearly every student from Capstone’s first academic year in 2003 and 2004 now attends, or has graduated from, a top world university and many of them (and the graduates since) still visit or stay in contact with us. Capstone students are continuing to be admitted into top US and UK universities including the Ivy League and Oxbridge, and push their own limits to achieve more.

✨ Elevate Your Child’s Academic Writing: Move Past "Passive Observation"

Does your child’s writing often sound basic and lack depth?

When writing essays, it is incredibly easy to fall back on the words we are most comfortable with. However, relying on the same familiar vocabulary over time can leave our work feeling stale.

Take a look at today's spotlight vocabulary transformation for the new academic year:

❌ Overused Word: START
✨ Capstone Alternative: COMMENCE
💡 Why "Commence"?

It Establishes Academic Authority: While "start" is casual and informal, "commence" carries a formal, decisive weight. It signals the beginning of a significant process, study, or era, immediately elevating the sophistication of essays and analytical writing.

Example:
Basic: "Capstone will start its new writing program next semester."
Upgraded: "Capstone will commence its new writing program next semester.”
⚠️ When Not to Use "Commence"

Although we highly recommend upgrading to "commence," it is important to remember that it is not a one-size-fits-all replacement. Good academic writing relies on absolute precision, and there are specific situations where this word breaks the logic of your sentence, and simpler options are required instead!

Everyday Casual Actions: Do not use "commence" for minor or informal routines (e.g., "Let's commence eating dinner" sounds unnaturally stiff; stick to begin or start).

Sudden or Spontaneous Events: Avoid using "commence" when describing unexpected actions (e.g., "It started raining suddenly" is far more natural than "It commenced raining").
