Our journey began in 2015 at the University of Rochester, NY, with the launch of PrepPals: a student-driven initiative founded on the belief that education should be personal, empowering, and accessible to all.

By 2020, this vision evolved into Agora Education Group, integrating education, global mobility, and financial pathways into a unified platform designed to support individuals and institutions through pivotal academic, professional, and life transitions.

Today, Agora has strengthened its presence in the Middle East through a UAE hub that brings together consulting, training, and testing services. As we look ahead, we remain committed to shaping the future of global talent mobility: cultivating leaders through elite mentorship, equipping institutions with forward-thinking solutions, and expanding access to opportunities that reimagine what learners and families can achieve.
