Statewide Math & ELA Tests

We offer extensive help in preparing for statewide Math & ELA tests for elementary and middle school students.

To teach your child, we do not use materials copied from outdated books commonly available at local book stores or public libraries. We use 100% Common Core aligned books created and published by a Common Core publishing company whose educational materials have been used by over 25 million students in 42,000 U.S. schools. We use only the current version of each book that contains over 250 pages of lessons, practices, and tests to help your child learn and practice the rigors of State Common Core Learning Standards.
