Reading

Heavy on vocabulary, fluency, and main ideas, we use a variety of exercises to master basic literacy. Start off slow and then, when you're ready, graduate to Alexander Solzhenitsyn and George Orwell.

Writing

Once the reading is mastered, we take two main ideas from each unit and start writing about them. We use "cloze paragraph" exercises, learning trees, and two-column notes to drive it all home.

Math

We start with arithmetic reasoning, then drill down to see if our students know basic multiplication and division. If not, we back up and master those. If so, we move on to geometry and algebra.

Critical Thinking

The Leadership Reaction Course challenges your students to improvise and think on their feet. Classroom lessons in cryptography and multi-source analysis round out the training.

What Makes Us Different

"Just the facts, ma'am"
Subject matter expertise is so deficient among American students that a big chunk of our time is spent mastering basic facts about math, history, and civics, to name a few. 

Stopping the COVID slide
COVID school closures have led to a 50% loss of math skills and 30% in reading. Direct instruction can stop this slide.

Results, Results, Results
Where the rubber meets the road. Our average gains in 1-on-1 instruction are 80+%. In small groups we see increases of 20+%.
