Partnership with ArborBridge for Test Prep and Tutoring
In today's world, we have learned that students' needs might be different than they were pre-pandemic:
-
More Flexibility - The world is moving, and students need 1:1 schedules that work for them vs. a single roster.
-
Enrichment - The learning differences created by the pandemic requires experts to analyze a students skills and possibly support with enrichment services before test-prep
-
AP tutoring support - Applicants may need more strength on their AP scores in the test-optional environment and require tutoring
-
Customization – Students' skills and goals based on college lists range significantly. There is no one-size-fits-all in the current environment.
In consideration of these changes, we have partnered with ArborBridge, a leading-edge, online standardized test prep company with a sophisticated scoring algorithm to create customized and highly targeted study plans (specific to the needs of each student). Arborbridge is able to efficiently determine what specific areas a student should concentrate on to increase scores. It’s this process that allows 9 out of 10 ArborBridge students to score within the top 5% of all test-takers.
