This course is intended for 7th graders planning to sit for the 2025 SHSAT test dates.

This course is appropriate for 7th graders who have excelled in their 6th grade common core education. When determining whether or not a student has achieved this level of content mastery, we recommend weighing state test exam outcomes more heavily than grades received in school. In general, students who received 3.0+ on state exams may expect the program to be appropriately challenging. This is because the topics we will cover in our program build on the learning students have received in elementary school and into middle school. Students who did not excel in their 6th grade common core education, or who need additional support to review those 6th grade concepts, may find the program to be very challenging, and may need to pursue additional supplemental enrichment that is beyond the scope of the program.

Participation in the following pre-work is optional, and there is no requirement for it to be submitted during class. This valuable resource serves as a self-assessment tool for students to gauge their understanding of the content and the expectations before commencing the course.

Please order this 6th grade workbook [linked] to ensure that your child is ready. If students do not reach all of the following benchmarks, they may find the foundations semester to be very challenging and may need additional support.

6th Grade Workbook Benchmarks

This workbook linked above contains 7 chapters. Each chapter begins with a Pretest. Without the use of a calculator, your child should aim to score

• at least 95% on the Pretests for Chapters 1-5,
• at least 80% on the Chapter 6 Pretest,
• at least 60% on the Chapter 7 Pretest, and
• at least 90% on the Final Test (pg. 143)

Though we expect to provide a 23-Session program that runs for Applications, Summer Practice, and Reinforcement (starting Spring 2025), we are recommending that all students enroll in the 35-Session program to ensure proper Foundations mastery. Students may opt to join the 23-Session program, but this is only recommended for the most advanced students.

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