For 7th graders . . .

ISEE Beginnings!

Before your journey begins. . .

Find the right program and the right teacher for you!

The high school application process is one that can define how students see themselves. Your child can use the challenges ahead to sharpen their skills as a student and gain insight that can support them in high school. They can work with instructors who have actually taken the exam that your child will take, who are curiously exploring and implementing new ways to help your child to learn, and who create programs which are dynamic: new methods of learning and understanding are applied each year so that programs continue to evolve and to meet students where they are.

7th Grade Program

Congratulations!!! You are planning ahead and ready to set yourself up for success!

ISEE Beginnings
7th Grade

In this course, students breakdown and work through strategies for the ISEE for each section of the exam. Students are introduced to some of the key elements of the Test Prep Accelerator System, to support them to notice more about themselves and how they learn.

We will also briefly discuss brain plasticity, neuroanatomy in relation to test prep and student behavior, and introduce some of the essentials of learning. We will work beyond preparing for standardized exams to give students tools to support how they learn and take tests.
