Most weeks of the month, Scholars will work online, asynchronously after-school, navigating through assigned learning modules at their own pace.
On three to four Saturdays per month during the academic year, Scholars will have a synchronous learning experience in advisory, ELA and math. These courses are taught by SEO instructors who deliver a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum developed by experienced educators.
Our five-week hybrid Summer Academy features classes Monday through Friday that bring our Scholars closer to their goals of college graduation and establish community among peers. One week in the summer will feature an in-person community-building program with the SEO student advisors.
Saturday Academy continues through the 11th grade, concluding in an SAT strategy course in the spring.
Scholars work one-on-one with volunteer mentors throughout the 11th grade.
Scholars participate in EPs that promote leadership and independence, including travel abroad, experiential programs, college courses and professional internships during the summer before 12th grade.
Under the guidance of our dedicated college admissions team, SEO Scholars visit campuses, meet with admissions officers and receive personalized essay-writing assistance. They also get one-on-one online counseling and support in applying for scholarships and financial aid so that, regardless of family income level, our Scholars can attend the best school to which they are accepted.

This could be you too!
