SAT/ACT/SSAT/HSPE/CAHSEE/GRE/GED/ETC. PREPARATION

We offer a wide array of test preparation options tailored to your needs, including practice tests, ACT PLAN and EXPLORE tests, flash cards, Study Island software, and many more. We will show you a variety of good, online and free resources to supplement your study practice.

BASIC IT CERTIFICATION

The required computer literacy course you need to graduate can also help you attain certification as a Basic IT Technician, either as a valuable asset for a summer job or as a first step to a

career in computers.

AFTER SCHOOL HOMEWORK HELP

Need help with homework outside of school hours? Sign up for monthly after-school academic support, grades 2-12.

ASSESSMENTS & TRANSCRIPT EVALUATIONS

Want to know how your student is doing compared to national benchmarks? Do your student’s courses need to comply with NCAA

requirements for college athletics? We offer English, math and science assess-ments, transcript evaluations, and standardized testing for grades 2-12.

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY

Our computer literacy courses meet state high school graduation requirements, and result in either Microsoft Office 2010 Specialist Master certification (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook), and/or the higher MS Office 2010 Expert certification in Word and Excel. IT Certification, too!

COLLEGE CLASSES

Need to fill in some courses or just have fun? See us for math or a variety of MOOC courses you can take for credit.

PROCTORING

Need a proctor to take an exam? Schedule an appointment to take a proctored test. $35 per exam.

WHAT ELSE?

We love a challenge. Tell us what you need and let us come up with some creative academic solutions. Thanks to generous grants and donations to our 501c3 non-profit education enterprise, we have never turned away a student for lack of ability to pay. Come be a part of the future of education!

BORED STUDENTS?

The #1 reason bright students drop out of high school is boredom. Let us help you craft a rigorous, accredited, challenging course of instruction for your student using all available resources that will keep your student motivated to achieve academic and personal success, whether for college or career.

INDIVIDUAL COURSE DESIGN

Do you have expertise in a skill for which there is not a conventional, accredited class? Speak with us to find out how to get academic credit for your expertise in digital videography, computer program-ming, foreign languages, Chautauqua, veterinary science, creative writing, art or musical talent, or any other area of particular interest and ability. We can help you design courses that will allow you to pursue unique interests, whether for a quarter, semester, or entire year. Attract the attention of a future employer or college by demonstrating mastery of your individual talents.

“SPECIAL NEEDS”?

Our “special needs” students thrive with an individualized approach to their education, and we love helping them define and achieve their academic and personal goals – whether their differences are autism, ADHD, or being extremely gifted.

SUMMER SCHOOL

Summer school is not just for remedial activities! Plan on taking some extra fun classes over the summer, or learn a new skill, whether in middle school, high school or college.

“I HATE MATH!”

No more! We have some great math tools, from grades 2 through college, whether you are struggling or a math whiz.

REMOTE INSTRUCTION

Do you travel, compete internationally, or live outside our immediate area? Our students range from Spain to Japan, and our teachers work with them weekly by Skype, email, and phone. Let us know if we can help you maintain academic integrity on your own schedule and pace of learning.
