In terms of standardized testing, as a private school we do not take tests like MCAS but we understand that the skills to take these tests are important especially for applying to colleges. We also believe that every student should have the same opportunity to score well on these tests so we provide SAT and ACT prep courses for all grades (required once junior year, other times are optional) so that students who may not be able to afford a private tutor will have a chance to become familiarized and practice.
