About

Our summer program is one of our more popular programs. It is a great combination of learning, building relationships, and participating in fun activities. Our objective is to always give the students a head start to the subjects they will be learning in the upcoming school year. With the teachers providing notes, exercises, and a preview into the curriculum of core subjects, it helps the students become very familiar with these upcoming subjects, before they get to school. So, once they encounter these subjects in school, they will have a easier time understanding the lessons taught in the classroom.

High School

Our morning classes for the high school program consist of all school subjects. In a span of six weeks, we attempt to help the students get a preview of their school courses for the upcoming school year. Our teachers teach and review, while supplying their lessons with supplemental questions. Lastly, the teachers will have tests/exams prepared for each topic to see if the students have understood the lessons. Our subjects include:

English

​

  • 9th - 10th grade (consist of reading summer reading books and going over types of essays)

  • We split English classes into reading comprehension and writing classes

  • AP Composition 

  • AP Literature

  • The students will work on their summer assignments at home and the teachers will check them over, once finished.

Since it is a six week course, our teachers will give out homework assignments and some classes may be intense. However, through many years of experience, we are sure the students will have much to gain from our high school program. From experience, students always keep the notes handed out in our program, which they end up using to review and refer back to once the new school year begins.

Since it is a middle school program, our teachers are aware that they need to make lessons and classes fun for the students. Our experienced teachers are very good at relating to the students and because of the smaller class sizes, our teachers make their lesson plans very efficient and fun. However, since it is a six-week program, our teachers do hand out homework assignments, fun projects, and quizzes/tests to see if the students are understanding the material.

SAT Prep

Our intense summer SAT program lays down the fundamentals with a blend of old SAT questions and new SAT questions. In addition to these questions, we go through the different aspects of the exam to equip students with a versatile skill set in order to do well on the test. Our summer SAT program consists of:

​

  • Learning how to read quickly and efficiently

  • Becoming familiar with the different types of passages and questions 

  • Learning how to answer and approach the different questions

We divide our SAT classes into three different levels (by scores):

​

  • Advanced Class (H) - A score of anything above 1400

  • Intermediate Class (E) - A score of 1100 - 1400

  • Beginner Plus (CC) - A score of anything under 1100

  • Beginner Class (C) - No SAT experience

​​

We also offer a diagnostic test before the summer program begins in order to place the students into the different levels.

​

We also separately cater to those students who are planning on taking the August SAT.
