Grow Your Vision
It’s unfortunate that we don’t teach key skills needed for college during formative years but test them heavily for college admissions. Students get a rude shock at their first SAT score. Then, during college, they often times feel unprepared to handle college finances, educational papers, and the critical thinking needed for any subject and jobs after that.
These skills of correct usage of English language, critical and analytical thinking, and financial educations are basic lifelong skill which helps them through their lives. ESS aims to equip students with these skills during grades 6-9 before they immerse fully in high school with tests, grades, volunteer activities, and, college essays.
This summer we are launching a camp to give an introduction to these topics to students in a two week 3-hour per day tight schedule.
Dates:
Camp 1: June 16- June 27 (2 weeks, M-F, 3:00-6:00 PM) Dates:
Camp 2: July 14- June 25 (2 weeks, M-F, 3:00-6:00 PM)
Introductory price: $200 Per week ($400 per camp)

Critical Reasoning
Math often proves to be tough subject for many. But in multiple college exams and many job interviews, its not just the core math that is being tested. Instead, they test your critical and analytical thinking, which often is the application of Math in real world situations. We cover this critical thinking in the formative course.
Financial Education
When students step into college, they often deal with questions like renting, spending, opening accounts, credit cards, and credit history which has profound and long-term impacts on their credit. This module prepares your child with the basics of money, credit, and manage their finances to prepare for college, finances, loans and scholarships.
English Grammar
This module is aimed at middle school students with an eye on topics that are tested on SAT/ACTs. The course makes grammar fun with an eye towards learning and encouraging students to use them in daily parlance, so correct English becomes a habit and not a boring and dull course work. This will make their SAT preps in high school much simpler, and they will end up spending way less time.
Career Planning
This module teaches kids how to present the best version of themselves to recruiters and job interviews. Resume building, social media presence (linkedin etc), interview skills, showcasing their business and organizational understanding are all covered here to guide your child in exploring career options, setting goals, and creating a roadmap for their future success.
