Read on to learn how Lana’s Summer Test Prep Programs puts students ahead of the curve for the upcoming school year.
As we move through the summer, Lana is bustling with exciting programs and preparations for the upcoming school year. This month, we’ve launched an SAT prep course, engaged in strategic planning for next year’s programming, and focused on enhancing our internal training and curriculum. Here’s a detailed look at our recent activities for our standardized test prep programs:
SAT Class at Thurgood Marshall Academy
We kicked off a month-long SAT class at Thurgood Marshall Academy as part of their summer college prep bootcamp. The class runs for two hours each day, Monday through Friday. Students not only work through the comprehensive SAT curriculum but also benefit from individualized and small group support during practice sessions. This ensures that they receive personalized attention to help them excel.
Planning for the 2024-2025 School Year
In addition to our summer programs, we’ve been busy conducting planning meetings with our partner schools to solidify programming for the 2024-2025 school year. We are thrilled to continue our partnerships with Sandy Spring Friends School, Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School, and Cesar Chavez Public Charter School for Public Policy. Our offerings for the upcoming year will include both SAT/ACT prep classes for students and professional development/coaching for staff. Additionally, we are excited to offer individual and small group tutoring, which provides more personalized learning experiences. These partnerships and expanded offerings are central to our mission of empowering students through high-quality test preparation and educational support.
Internal Training and Curriculum Refinement
Preparing our team for success is a top priority. I will be leading an internal training for all Lana Learn staff members to share updates around the digital SAT. This will equip our teammates to support our growing program. As we approach the new school year, our curriculum refinement process is in full swing. With valuable input from colleagues and insights drawn from this year’s data, we are continually enhancing our materials to provide the best possible preparation for our students. This ongoing effort ensures that we remain at the forefront of educational excellence.
Upcoming Workshops with D.C. Public Schools
Next month, we are excited to collaborate with D.C. Public Schools to conduct workshops on standardized testing in a test-optional climate and digital PSAT/SAT prep. These workshops are designed to help students navigate the evolving landscape of college admissions. Additionally, they will help students make the most of their testing opportunities. By providing valuable insights and practical strategies, we aim to empower students to achieve their academic goals.
We are excited about the progress we’ve made this month and look forward to the positive impact these initiatives will have on our students and partner schools.
