The transition to middle school can be daunting, and a lack of summer engagement in math adds to the pressure of starting a new school. Spending the majority of last school year online will make this transition even harder, particularly for students who are starting at a private middle school! This group class is designed to make the transition from summer to middle school a little more comfortable. Students can expect to solidify foundations, review some of the trickier math topics from 5th grade, and preview core concepts from 6th grade.
Students will meet twice per week as a group in 1-hour classes, and once 1-on-1 with the instructor for thirty minutes. The 1-on-1 sessions are mid-course check-ins designed to ensure students are staying on track; they will either reinforce or expand upon topics from the week, depending on each individual student’s needs. Homework between classes will be assigned.

Students who stay actively engaged in the learning process during the summer perform better during the school year.
