ENGLISH & MATH 


This 1st-6th grade Academic Enrichment Program cultivates students' Math and English skills and helps maintain practical skills that are useful for school.

Reading with Vocabulary 
The objective of the class is to prepare students for what they are going to learn in school by enriching their knowledge of vocabulary and reading skills. Every class starts off with a vocabulary quiz, and students work on passages that use the vocabulary in each unit.

Book Reading & Writing with Grammar 
Constant reading improves students' reading comprehension and develops good reading habits. The class includes reading at least one book per week, taking a reading quiz, and writing a book report. Students are first given a reading diagnostic test to determine their reading level. According to the reading level, students will receive a list of books that will enhance their reading and comprehension skills.

School Math Concept 
Students will learn basic math concepts and preview material that they will learn in school. After learning a concept, they will have practice questions to review those skills.

Math Problem Solving 
After learning basic concepts, students will improve their mathematical skills with repetitive exercises consisting of word problems, SOL problems, and math competitions problems.
