When to Get Started

Regardless of where students are on their academic journey, a partnership with Areté will dramatically impact their growth. We’ve learned that starting in the 6th or 9th grades is optimal for the most impact and maturation. Our long-term, holistic approach positions students for success at the top boarding or prep schools and colleges/universities in the US and abroad. In addition, we instruct students in their junior year of high school specifically to focus on SAT/ACT prep.
