Da Vinci is thrilled to be partnering with Ivy Prep again this year to offer discounted ACT and SAT Classes! We’ve heavily subsidized these courses so that your students can attend for 80% off the regular price. Our students have seen great results with these classes in the past, so it’s an excellent opportunity for your student if they want to improve their ACT or SAT scores. Both classes are geared toward Juniors, but Sophomores and Seniors would benefit from them as well. The SAT class generally meets Mondays and Wednesdays after school, and the ACT class generally meets Tuesdays and Thursdays. The exact dates and other details can all be found on the flyers below.
