Our co-founders, Fernando Solano and his wife Ceci Solano, built a family legacy defined by discipline, faith, and an unwavering commitment to education, rising from the challenges of immigration to see both of their children thrive at Columbia University, the best University in New York and one of the best Ivy League Universities in USA.
Their journey included multiple relocations—Mexico City to Miami, Miami to Scottsdale, and finally to New York—moves driven by their growth in the corporate world. Each transition required the family to rebuild their lives from the ground up, navigating new cultures, new communities, and a new language, all without the support of nearby relatives. Through every change, they remained united in purpose and anchored by the values they carried with them.
Inside their home, Fernando and Ceci cultivated a foundation rooted in truth, patience, kindness, discipline, and a deep love for God. Ceci, in particular, instilled in the family a profound love for learning—especially languages—shaping a household where curiosity, intellectual growth, and cultural appreciation were daily practices.
These values became the compass that guided their children academically, socially, and spiritually. Fernando and Ceci encouraged their children to be authentic, to pursue excellence boldly, and to understand that leadership begins with humility and service.
Throughout the demanding path toward Ivy League admissions, the Solano family remained emotionally and practically united. Fernando and Ceci were present for every milestone, every challenge, and every moment of growth, creating a stable environment where their children felt supported, capable, and encouraged to aim high.
Today, their children—one a Junior and the other a Freshman—stand as leaders, scholars, and role models. They excel academically, contribute meaningfully to campus life, and lead organizations dedicated to helping others succeed. Their humility, kindness, and commitment to service reflect the values instilled at home and serve as an inspiration to extended family, friends, and peers.
The Solano family’s story demonstrates that extraordinary outcomes do not require wealth or privilege. They require unity, discipline, faith, and the courage to believe in a future bigger than one’s circumstances. This is the spirit behind META Ivy League: empowering families to build generational success through intentional guidance, strong values, and a shared commitment to excellence.
