S.T.A.R.S. Scholars Program
ScholarSkills Online Academy introduces the S.T.A.R.S. Program
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is ScholarSkills Online Learning Academy (S.O.L.A.)?
ScholarSkills Online Learning Academy is the live, interactive, online component of ScholarSkills for STARS, which helps students to gain better grades in school, achieve higher scores on tests, and qualify for admission to schools that offer them the best. Students learn at their own pace and face to face in dynamic, interactive online classes taught by expert instructors.
Why is this intensive, long-term preparatory program necessary?
Standardized test scores continue to plummet. Short-term test preparation simply does not address or redress the substantive educational deficiencies that students have faced throughout their academic careers. Indeed, one of the greatest mistakes parents and students make in preparing for tests such as the ISEE & SSAT is to invest time and money in short-term test prep courses that emphasize strategy over content. While these courses can be effective for students who have already shown significant mastery of either test’s content, they cannot help those who need to review and master the cumulative verbal and mathematical skills that the tests assess.
How much does our long-term, premier preparatory program cost?
Our long-term learning program offers four times as much as other online prep programs and is priced accordingly. Programs that are short-term and strategy-based offer four to six weeks of classroom instruction. ScholarSkills offers six months of live instruction and self-paced interactive skill-building mastery lessons. Test prep companies charge approximately $900 for four to six weeks of brush-up lessons. Students who are accepted into our ScholarSkills for STARS program are awarded this program at no cost. The program is valued at $2400 for six months of intensive, skill-based lessons that lead to success in school and on standardized tests.
