College Prep Program for 11th-12th Graders

In just five weeks, high school juniors and seniors become faster, smarter readers and more effective students. They save time, get more out of everything they read, and learn new strategies for long-term academic success!

To excel academically, students need the right reading and study skills.

No matter what your high schooler chooses to study in college, reading will play a huge role. College students have many different reading assignments in a wide range of subjects, each with its own challenges. They need a way to get through all of their reading efficiently while retaining the most important information.

Our College Prep Program can help. During the program, current high school students double their reading speed – or better! – and improve comprehension, recall, and focus. They also learn effective time management and study strategies to help them finish work on time, get better grades, and score higher on exams.

Faster Reading Speed

In this program, students learn speed reading techniques that help them read at least twice as fast. You’ll see improvements in your son or daughter's speed and concentration right away using these easy techniques. The result? Your high schooler will manage his or her workload much more efficiently.

Improved Focus & Concentration

Your high schooler will develop active strategies for staying engaged with all types of course material. Whether he or she is working in a textbook, reading an article online, or listening to a lecture, we’ll give your child the tools to stay focused and absorb key information.

Stronger Comprehension & Recall

By taking this program, students develop the skills to understand and remember whatever they read. Your high schooler will learn how to preview material and read critically. Techniques for taking notes, annotating, and summarizing will help your son or daughter retain information and significantly reduce rereading.

More Effective Study Skills

High schoolers in our program learn the best way to study for important tests and exams, which is crucial for success in college. Strategies for reviewing notes from textbooks and nonfiction and using study guides and other tools effectively will make a big difference in your son or daughter's grades. 

Better Time Management

We help our students reduce stress with practical skills and strategies for managing their daily workload for school and juggling their other commitments. After the program, your high schooler will stay organized, finish assignments on schedule, and have more personal time! This is a great introduction to time management before college.

A Convenient Program
for Busy Students

College-Level Materials

As part of the program, your son or daughter will read and discuss a thought-provoking nonfiction book. Practicing new skills in this book and engaging deeply with the material will prepare your child to participate actively in future courses. You'll also receive a compendium of materials just like those students encounter in college. 

Engaging Weekly Classes

Our program schedules work for even the busiest high school students. Each week for five weeks, high schoolers attend a dynamic online class led by an instructor who is specially trained in techniques that improve reading speed, comprehension, concentration, and recall. Your son or daughter will enjoy every class and come away with practical strategies for success.

Help from an Expert Instructor

Our teachers know how to succeed in college - because they've already done it! Your son or daughter's teacher will be knowledgeable, communicative, and enthusiastic. Most importantly, the teacher will be there when your high schooler has questions or needs extra help with skills learned during the program.

Effective Skills & Strategies

The workshop format of this program gives students ample opportunity to practice new skills in a variety of materials. High schoolers learn how to adapt their approach to get the most out of whatever they are currently reading or learning. This will lead to greater success now and in future college courses.
