Students and Parents:

The HBCU college fair was cancelled this year due to lack of participation from the Universities. My apologies to those who planned on attending.

Need SAT Prep for the November SAT?

This course will benefit rising Seniors who either still need to take the SAT, or who need to improve their existing scores. Most Colleges and Universities start Rolling Admissions in October. Taking the November 2nd SAT will allow students to have test results in hand by late November, giving them enough time to meet the Admissions Deadlines for their target schools.

This course will also benefit rising Juniors who have already completed Geometry and Algebra II. It is recommended that students take the SAT multiple times. Taking the November 2nd SAT will allow students to get a head start on the competition. The course provides in-depth content review while also coaching them on important aspects of the admissions process.

Our course is competitively priced at only $199! (Similar courses will cost $300 and up)
