Below are some specific camps and daily activities for the upcoming school break, and they do fill up fast, so sign up early!

Book now for the SAT and ACT Spring tests!
If your child is a Junior in high school, we strongly recommend they test, whether it be the SAT or ACT or both, more than once.
The next SAT test date is
May 2nd and then June 6th.
The next ACT test will be
June 13th.
Plan for your child to take a standardized test at least twice to give them the best chance of a high score.
If you are not sure whether your child should take the SAT or ACT, please see the article below.
We often see students who feel more comfortable with one test over the other, so if you have the time to start early, we can create the best action plan for them moving forward this Spring.
