During the summer, BA Prep course teaches fundamental, challenging math topics based on Algebra I and Geometry. For the essay portion, we focus on developing critical reading and thinking skills and effective writing skills. Until acceptance, the program offers math and essay writing classes and practice exams, reviews, application essay edits, and admission interview training.

The SSAT summer course is a foundational class that focuses on developing critical reading and thinking skills and effective writing skills and fundamental, challenging math topics based on Algebra I and Geometry that inevitably help students enhance their problem solving and application skills. Practice exams are administered.

Students spend the course (one of our most popular classes in the summer) reading suggested titles and engage in literary discussions with their peers to encourage their love of reading and deeper critical thinking skills. Students take the lead in interpreting texts with teacher support.

A comprehensive English and Math course for the Digital SAT and learn tested SAT strategies, and familiarize students with the official Digital SAT testing platform Bluebook and the official calculator Desmos. The class teaches basic English and Math skills and is comprised of lectures, workshops to practice that day’s lessons, and vocabulary quizzes. A progress test that is an official practice exam is administered every few weeks. Weekday workshops are available free of charge during the Spring and Fall Sessions.

In this intensive course, we will be examining the PSAT and focusing on a comprehensive overview of the content and concepts within the test as well as the introduction of specific test prep strategies.
