Summertime is just around the corner.

Sunblock. Check.

Shades. Check.

Rubber ducky. Check.

School work?

You've heard us say it before, but it remains true: building academic strength is similar to many other types of skills, and long periods of time without practice and attention can halt a child's momentum.

Teachers widely agree that students perform best in the new school year when they have participated in academic exercises over the preceding holiday break.

This summer we are offering great deals to keep our students' brains active for the summer months

That's how passionate we are about helping kids avoid losing their momentum. Even just a little effort and engagement can make a difference come September.

Academic Ascent Essentials is a five-part course designed to break down student life into measured, manageable chunks and provide guidance and best practices to students on creating their own effective study habits. Essentials is interactive, fun, and puts the student in the drivers seat of their own personal academic program.

Special Summer Offer for Middle School Students

Students entering grades 6 through 9 next fall are invited to join us on 8/8, 8/10, 8/15 & 8/17 at 9am ET for Academic Ascent Essentials online group reboot. This class will mimic the individual sessions but will be delivered in a group setting and is scheduled strategically to maximize effectiveness in advance of the new school year.

Students who are enrolled in the group reboot by July 15th receive a 20% discount off the price of the course ($100 savings).

Students who are enrolled by June 23rd receive an additional 10% discount off the price of the course (total $150 savings).

Essentials remains open and available to students at middle or high school levels and we encourage all of our families to consider scheduling individual sessions this summer if your child could use a revamp of their study skills habits. Learning new habits during the school year can be especially difficult for some students when added to their regular academic workload.
