This course is designed for 7th graders who will be applying to independent schools for 9th grade (in 2024-2025). The in-person and online classes are great for all students, while the On-Demand version of the course is better suited for self-motivated and highly organized students. Our self-paced class option allows your student to watch video recordings of the class sessions and complete the same classwork, homework, and practice tests as the students participating in our live course.

Private tutoring is always available for students who wish to supplement their in-class learning. Email [email protected] to get started.

Once school starts again in the Fall, classes will move into an after-school slot. We anticipate either Mondays, 4pm-6:30pm, OR Thursdays, 4pm-6:30pm, with Mondays being the more likely option. We will confirm the Fall schedule as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

Classes will be hosted:

• online via Zoom Meetings, or
• in-person at 222 Broadway
  • If, due to public health and safety policies, in-person classes must be converted to online classes, we will be prepared to do so quickly, and will communicate this change via email.

Please click the date ranges linked in section "2" below for locations, dates, and times.

Please note: All dates/times/locations are tentative, subject to minimum enrollment requirements, and may be changed. If you sign up for a specific date/time/location and we are unable to offer it, we will gladly switch you into a different course, or provide you with a full refund.

Yes! This class is eligible for cumulative referral rewards.

For every student you refer that completes our ISEE class, you'll earn rebates towards your own student's tuition! Here is our referral schedule:

• first referred family: $150 back
• second family: additional $200 back ($350 total)
• third family: additional $250 back ($600 total)

For each subsequent referred family, your additional discount increases by $50, stacking onto that amount. So, if you refer 4 families, that's $150 + 200 + 250 + 300 = $900 refunded from your tuition! There's no limit to the number of referrals made per family, so 4 students referred means you'll effectively pay less than half price for the entire course!

Separate referral schedule for each course (e.g. ISEE vs SAT). Rebate is credited to the credit card on file after successful completion of paid course by both parties. Direct referrals only (i.e. if you refer Family A, then Family A refers Family B, Family B does not count towards your referral schedule). In the case that a new family is referred by two separate existing families, the rebate will be applied to the first name credited on the registration form. Additionally, cumulative referral rewards are not applicable for semi-private classes or customized classes.
