Build the skills now. Excel later.
Our SAT & ACT Foundations Program is designed for 9th and 10th grade students who want to get a head start on standardized test preparation. Instead of jumping straight into test-taking strategies, this program focuses on building the core academic skills students need to succeed on the SAT or ACT when the time comes.
Foundations lays the groundwork by strengthening essential math, reading, and writing concepts that both exams assume students already know. By closing learning gaps early, students enter full SAT or ACT prep more confident, prepared, and efficient.
Core arithmetic and foundational algebra skills
Grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure
Reading comprehension and analytical thinking
Academic skills that support both standardized testing and classroom success
This program focuses entirely on concept mastery, not shortcuts or memorization. Students develop a strong academic base that supports long-term growth
Foundations is not a replacement for full SAT or ACT prep. It does not include test-taking strategies or exam-specific pacing techniques. Instead, it prepares students to fully benefit from advanced test preparation later by ensuring they have the necessary foundational knowledge.
Think of Foundations as the first step in a long-term plan toward strong SAT or ACT performance.
