Director's Column - Is Your Child Ready for School and State Assessments?
For kids in the public schools, Spring is perhaps the most important time for knowledge acquisition, as the schools focus on preparing the kids for their state-mandated assessments -- the dreaded STAAR Exams. Preparation for exams such as these should not be left to in-school review sessions with the entire classroom of 20+ students, given that each student has a different academic need. With MindQuest and our afterschool classes and tutoring programs, we provide subject matter instruction in small classroom settings and/or with personal one-on-one tutoring by highly-skilled teachers/tutors/instructors to ensure such preparedness for the individual child. Don't leave your child's success on the upcoming assessments to chance! Register today for a class/tutoring at the IQuest Center and get your child prepared to succeed academically.
