SKILL ACCELERATORS
Boost Your Student’s Math & Writing Skills
Summer group skill accelerator classes for Merryhill School 6th-8th graders challenged with math and writing.
June-August 2025
What are skill accelerators?
Skill accelerators are intensive, focused classes designed to give students a significant boost in specific academic areas. In partnership with Merryhill School, our skill accelerator classes provide targeted instruction and practice in key subjects like Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Essay Writing, empowering students with the confidence and skills needed to excel in the upcoming school year.
THE SWOON LEARNING WAY
What skills are accelerated?
Students will develop crucial executive functions such as organization and focus, receive academic guidance to improve study habits, and learn the importance of weekly planning and weekly evaluation for academic success. The classes also emphasize how to effectively review class materials and develop strong test skills, all within a structured environment aimed at fostering a positive attitude towards learning and combating summer learning loss.
