There are several types of preparatory work that students can do to prepare for boarding school, including:
Academics: Boarding schools are known for their rigorous academic programs, so students may want to focus on strengthening their academic skills in subjects such as math, science, and language arts. This could include taking advanced courses or enrolling in tutoring or academic enrichment programs.
Extracurricular activities: Boarding schools also place a strong emphasis on extracurricular activities, so students may want to get involved in activities such as sports, music, drama, or community service to demonstrate their interests and abilities.
Independent living skills: Boarding schools require students to live away from home, so it can be helpful for students to develop independent living skills such as time management, organization, and self-advocacy.
Social skills: Boarding schools often have diverse student populations, so students may want to develop social skills such as communication, empathy, and cultural awareness to interact effectively with their peers.
Admissions test preparation: Many boarding schools require applicants to take admissions tests such as the SSAT or ISEE, so students may want to prepare for these tests by taking practice exams or enrolling in test preparation programs.
Our experienced counselors help your student prepare for the SSAT or ISEE with the following plan of action:
Develop a personalized study plan: Every student is different, so it's important to develop a study plan that is tailored to your student's strengths and weaknesses. Identify areas where your student needs the most help and develop a plan to address those areas.
Provide targeted practice materials: In addition to using general study materials, provide practice materials that specifically target the areas where your student needs the most help. This can include targeted practice tests, worksheets, or online resources.
Offer test-taking strategies: In addition to helping your student master the content of the SSAT or ISEE, offer test-taking strategies to help your student perform their best on test day. This can include strategies for pacing themselves, eliminating incorrect answer choices, and managing test anxiety.
Track progress: Keep track of your student's progress by regularly administering practice tests and tracking their scores. Use this information to identify areas where your student has made progress and areas where they still need more work.
Communicate with parents: Keep parents informed about their child's progress and any areas where they need additional support. This can help parents support their child's learning and ensure that they are getting the most out of the tutoring sessions.
By developing a personalized study plan, providing targeted practice materials, offering test-taking strategies, tracking progress, and communicating with parents, we can help your student prepare for the SSAT or ISEE and achieve their best possible score.
