Academic Support workshops

Jan. 17 12p.m-4 p.m.

AI is not going away — and neither is the confusion around how to use it responsibly. That’s why this workshop exists: to help students understand when and how to use AI as a powerful tool, not a shortcut.

This is a program I’ve actively developed and taught in the classroom. Last year, I discovered that nearly 40% of my students were using AI unethically or ineffectively. So, we tackled the issue head-on. After refining my approach over the course of the year, we brought the rate of AI-related cheating down to zero on our final major assignment.

This workshop is built on what we learned together. Students leave with:

• A clear understanding of what constitutes ethical vs. unethical use of AI

• Practical strategies for using AI to brainstorm, revise, and problem-solve

• Awareness of AI’s strengths, limitations, and blind spots

• Tools for thinking critically about the information AI generates

• Respect for their own thinking and voice in the age of automation

Let’s help students work smarter, not just faster — and keep their integrity intact while they do it.

Media Literacy

Feb. 22- 12 p.m.-4 p.m.

Media Literacy Workshop
Empowering Students to Think Critically in a World of Information Overload

In a digital age where anyone can publish anything — and headlines are designed to provoke rather than inform — media literacy isn’t optional. It’s essential.

This four-hour workshop helps students build the tools they need to evaluate the news, think critically, and recognize bias in the information they consume.

We’ll start by exploring how media bias is measured using resources from Ad Fontes Media, which ranks news outlets by reliability and bias. Students will learn how media sources are evaluated — and why it matters.

Then, we’ll dive into Checkology by the News Literacy Project to practice analyzing real-world news stories. Through interactive lessons and activities, students will sharpen their ability to:

• Spot misinformation and disinformation

• Evaluate the credibility of sources

• Identify bias, opinion, and fact

• Ask better questions about what they read, watch, and share

Finally, we’ll step back and discuss the why — why this skill is essential for civic engagement, academic success, and personal awareness in an era of AI, social media, and global conflict.

Workshop Takeaways:

• Confidence in evaluating news and online information

• Tools to recognize bias and misinformation

• A framework for responsible media consumption

• Greater awareness of how media shapes opinion and action

Let’s teach students not just to consume information — but to challenge it, question it, and think for themselves.

Our summer boot camps for SAT, ACT, and ISEE preparation offer a focused learning environment with sessions limited to ten students to ensure meaningful engagement and individualized support.

Each boot camp is structured to provide high-impact instruction while integrating real-time performance tracking which enables us to identify each student’s strengths and areas for growth. This data-driven insight not only enhances immediate test preparation but also serves as the foundation for a personalized academic plan for the year ahead. This helps ensure long-term progress and readiness for the challenges to come.

The boot camp is one week for English and one week for math skills. You have calendar options to help them to suit your schedule. When you check out, you start by picking the English schedule. As you continue the registration, you choose the math week from the drop down menu. The fee includes both.
