Choose Your Session<\/h2>\n

Choose from our 4-week Summer Head Start Intensive or 6-week Fall\/Winter course.<\/p>\n

We encourage an early start \u2014 some concepts are not typically taught in a traditional classroom. Rising 6th graders may benefit from the Summer Head Start followed by 1:1 private sessions. Choose the cohort that fits your timeline. Earlier cohorts give more preparation time.<\/p>\n

All sessions are Sundays, 1:00 PM \u2013 3:00 PM CT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Academic Center exam is the test used for admission to CPS gifted and accelerated programs. It includes Verbal and Non-Verbal sections. Testing takes place January through February each year.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Which cohort should my child take?” admin_label=”My student needs help in multiple subjects.

Earlier cohorts give more preparation time and more access to the Personal Study Coach before test day. The summer Head Start Intensive is ideal for families who want maximum lead time. Cohort 4 is a final intensive for families starting closer to the test window.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What is the difference between the Head Start Intensive and the full 6-week course?” admin_label=”Will tutoring help my student prepare for the ACT or SAT?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.6em” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”16px|16px|12px|16px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Head Start Intensive is a 4-session summer course designed to introduce your child to the test format and build foundational skills early. The full 6-week course runs in the fall and winter and provides comprehensive preparation including two full-length practice tests, deeper strategy instruction, and targeted coaching. Many families do both.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What does the Personal Study Coach do?” admin_label=”How will I know my student is making progress?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.6em” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”16px|16px|12px|16px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Personal Study Coach is available 24\/7 and generates personalized practice questions based on your child\u2019s individual weak areas. Because it adapts to each student, no two students get the same practice \u2013 making it effective whether your child needs Verbal support, Non-Verbal work, or both.<\/p>\n
