SAT PREP CLASS INFO COMING SOON!
Preparing for and taking the SAT is not considered fun. However, it is an admissions requirement for some colleges and it is usually tied to scholarship dollars at most colleges. We want to help you maximize those scholarship dollars and get the best possible score on your SAT. We will be sending out an interest form with class options and possible dates very soon. Watch for the form in your email or remind text and be thinking about your SAT plans!
