SAVE THE DATE - Wednesday, October 16th is the PSAT.

We will be giving the PSAT to all of our studio student sophomores and juniors on Wednesday, October 16th. If possible, please do not schedule any outside appointments for your son/daughter as this National Test cannot be re-scheduled.

Testing will begin at 8:00 a.m. until approximately 12:15 p.m. for standard test takers. All sophomores and juniors will be assigned specific classrooms upon arrival.

The PSAT is an important testing tool. These test results will determine which of our 11th grade students will qualify as Commended Scholars and National Merit Finalists. This affords our students a number of very competitive scholarship opportunities. Additionally, it is a wonderful practice for the SAT and will give students opportunities to get great college information. We believe it is critical that each of our students is given this important test.

Freshmen and seniors will be having a home study day on October 16th.
