Everything in our program is deliberate — from the explicit methods our students are taught, to the fifteen thousand-plus online activities behind our assessment system. This hub opens the classroom door: our method, our curriculum, and plain-English guides to the tests our families are preparing for.
These pages are written for parents deciding whether structured tutoring is right for their child — and for anyone who wants to understand how Opportunity Class and Selective preparation actually works. Nothing here is filler: every framework, strategy and policy described below is drawn directly from what happens in our classes each week.
How we actually teach — explicit, repeatable methods for writing, reading and Thinking Skills, a relentless weekly vocabulary engine, and the English-first philosophy that connects them.
