Study Skills and Time Management Workshop

Students who perform well in school and on standardized tests use effective study and time management strategies. This workshop will help students and their parents develop an individualized study and time management plan that works.
Essay Writing Workshop
Cost: FreeThe new SSAT asks younger students to write a short story; older students are expected to write an argumentative essay. Teachers and admissions officers use these essays to learn more about potential and current students, to determine students’ fluency in English, and to evaluate critical and creative thinking. This workshop will introduce parents and students to both creative and argumentative essays and will offer strategies to help students become better writers.
