ENGLISH & MATH

Students will first master Pre-Algebra and Geometry through various practice problems. Then they will be prepared for the IOWA Algebra Aptitude Test which is taken in the 6th grade. Furthermore, students will improve their vocabulary and reading comprehension through high intensity classes to advance the student in their academics.

Class placement is not based on grade, but on the student's ability in English and Math. The class is composed of original, creative lessons that students can enjoy while learning to think outside the box. This program prepares students for the CTY Camp test, 6th grade Algebra 1 test (IOWA-Algebra Aptitude Test), and TJ test.

Reading with Vocabulary:
The objective of the class is to prepare students for further studies by enriching their knowledge of vocabulary and reading skills. Every class starts off with a vocabulary quiz, and students work with the passages that use the vocabulary.

Book Reading,Writing with Grammar:
Constant reading improves students' creativity and develops good reading habits. The class requires students to read at least one book, take reading quizzes, and submit their writing work every week.

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

Accelerated reading program:
New students will take a reading level test in order to receive a list of books that correspond with their reading level. Students are tested on a book from their list every week to effectively improve reading comprehension skills and vocabulary.

Creative Writing

All too often, children are put off by Creative Writing by feeling they have to do it right.  Best Academy's Creative Writing class challenges students to think critically and creatively. We want to help students enjoy writing their own stories while teaching important writing skills.  Many institutions, including TJHSS, look for candidates who can skillfully express and translate their thoughts into words. Taught by one of Best Academy’s top English teachers, Miss. Elizabeth Menard, this Creative Writing class will absolutely change your student’s perspective of writing!
