The ripples of the COVID-19 pandemic are still felt in our nation’s education system, including widespread learning gaps among students.
In this blog, we’re offering insight from our team of Educational Specialists. Read the common concerns parents are bringing up and how we’re helping students bridge learning gaps through individualized academic attention.
It’s conference season! The time of year when many parents get a peek (in-person or virtually) inside their child’s classroom, and get a glimpse at their social and academic progress.
Whether you’re heading to a conference or reaching out to a teacher with concerns, we’re sharing how to effectively communicate with your child’s teacher, exactly what to say, and how to better understand what’s really going on at school.
A major shift is coming to the SAT. The new SAT will be shorter, completely redesigned, and entirely digital. Read about the changes and if your student will be impacted.
Legacy admissions and Early Decision practices are changing at some universities, and supplemental questions have an added importance in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s mandate to remove direct questions about race from college applications.
This might add to the already confusing application process, but rest assured; these changes signal a pivotal moment for constructing a solid application strategy and your child’s opportunity to showcase their individuality.
