Each day, students gather together with a teacher in a direct instructional format for fifteen minutes to complete the Skills Improvement course. Each student has the opportunity to engage the class as a peer volunteer instructor while other students participate in the lesson plan. All students receive five elective credits after one year completion of the course. Students review, practice, and strengthen skills necessary to improve college preparatory abilities. Students execute several tasks focusing on vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar, and overall test-taking skills.  Students complete practice PSAT, SAT, and ACT tests and Barron’s math review along with informative lectures from teachers.
