ACT Camps
We motivate students to set and achieve goals in a fun and inclusive environment. With experienced instructors (Winni van Gessel and Matt Vassil), a proprietary curriculum, and a maximum class size of 15 students, we help families save thousands of dollars. During every class, all students will receive an analysis of their ACT skills to pinpoint the exact focus areas that drives a 3-4-point score improvement. We provide individualized lesson plans with test-taking strategies, helpful hints, and targeted practice material to achieve mastery of the needed skills for the June 8 and July 13 ACT.
College Planning and Application Camp
This camp decreases family stress, maximizes financial aid, and improves each student’s odds for college admission. The writing workshops for admission, scholarship, and honors essays provide each student with a competitive product. We give advice on best-fit colleges and majors, compare programs, and construct an individualized college list with information and deadlines. Each student leaves with a completed Common App application and a roadmap for the requirements in the months ahead. Additionally, students receive daily ACT lessons with exercises and individualized analysis.
