Thanksgiving & Winter Intensive Program 2025
Local School Support Intensive
This course helps students master their fall semester curriculum. We focus on areas where students need extra help. This includes subjects like:
  • Math (Algebra I/II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus)
  • Science (Physical Science, Earth Science)
  • Basic English (Grammar, Composition)
  • Social Science (World History, Civics)
We use materials from local schools and tailor our lessons to each student's needs. This helps improve grades by the end of the school year and prepares them for the next semester.
TOEFL (New Format) / SAT Intensive Course
This intensive course is designed to quickly improve scores for the TOEFL iBT and SAT. We cover all sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Students will learn key test-taking strategies through hands-on practice. We also focus on building vocabulary and managing time effectively during the test.
AO / Returnee / Science University Exam Preparation
This program is for students applying to universities through AO (Admissions Office) or as returnee applicants. We use the Thanksgiving and Winter breaks for focused exam preparation. Since local schools are closed, students can fully concentrate on improving their weak areas and building a strong foundation. Our goal is to help them gain admission to competitive universities.
AP Class Preparation
Use your Thanksgiving and Winter breaks to get ahead in your AP classes. We'll help you gain a deep understanding of fall semester topics in AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Physics 1/2, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, and AP US History. This preparation will help you achieve high scores on your midterms and final exams.
Basic English Intensive
This program is for students new to the U.S. or those who need to build confidence in their English skills. We offer intensive training in practical English for daily life and school. Topics include daily conversation, essential school phrases, basic grammar, and pronunciation. Our small class sizes ensure personalized support for each student's level.
