How Our Online Classes Work:

  • Workbook: Before class begins, we mail you the workbook that your child will use during each class.
  • Webinar: We use the Zoom “webinar” platform to conduct our live online lessons. Students are view-only attendees during the class, but they can use the Q&A chat function to ask questions which we answer live on the broadcast.
  • Class Replays: All classes are recorded and made available for students to re-watch later. Students have access to the replays until they take their actual HSPT®.
  • Kahoot: For additional practice, we play Kahoot in the afternoon from 2 pm – 3 pm (Pacific Time). Attendance is optional.

I was able to concentrate on the classes online and I was able to learn what the test would be like when I actually take it. I also enjoy your dance breaks and the music you guys would play every class. It made me feel very comfortable in the class and there was never a boring day in this class.

I liked the dance breaks, learning math, the tips you said to help us with spelling and vocabulary, the question of the days, all the help we got like links, homework help, and questions in the chat. I also liked how funny you were and the jokes.

Parent Testimonials

“The skills that my daughter picked up during the summer course have helped in her regular school testing. As part of her middle school progress testing, they undertake online multiple-choice testing. She is now finishing the tests early, when previously she would need extra time. The course was very effective and has helped prepare her in other ways than just for the HSPT.”   
—Felicity M.
—Felicity M.
‘’My daughter took the summer HSPT course the summer after her 7th grade year, and we felt that it helped her confidence and skills for the HSPT test. She will tell you without question, it was helpful. However, the biggest difference that we saw was that her skill and confidence in just regular academics in 8th grade improved, particularly in math.’’
