The courses of this program include preparation for local specialized programs and local prestigious high schools (such as AOS, AET, and TJ) as well as SAT Prep, AP Prep, and Honors Course Prep for high school students. We also provide summer courses including supplementary math/science courses for high school-aged students, supplementary math/English courses for middle and elementary-aged students, and various English, writing, and science day camps.
