Courses/Programs offered
event_available Science
Each area of science is different and requires a unique set of study skills/habits. In other words, the keys to success in Biology are not exactly the same as those for Physics, or Chemistry. Knowing this, we make sure students are employing the right skills for the right subject.
event_available World languages
World languages continually build upon previously learned information; therefore, once a student falls behind it quickly becomes very difficult for them to catch up without additional help. Don’t wait for the gap to widen; get help now.
event_available Language Arts / Writing / English
We cannot express more strongly the importance of developing strong writing skills. Students who cannot effectively communicate their ideas in writing will suffer in virtually every subject they take, and these issues will persist into adulthood and the workplace.
event_available Social Science
Success in the social sciences requires strong academic skills and habits, particularly quality note-taking in class and from the textbook, effective reading strategies and utilization of the textbook and other resources, strong organizational skills, and effective study skills and metacognitive understanding of learning. Typically, students who find themselves struggling in the social sciences are lacking one or more of these skills and, therefore, fall behind. Peak has experienced social sciences instructors that couple direct instruction with modeling and development of the academic skills and habits students need to succeed in these courses.
event_available AP and IB
AP and IB courses cover the highest level high school material possible (college level actually, as you know), so it’s not easy to find teachers who have the knowledge and skills to teach these courses. Peak was founded by a former IB teacher and is staffed by highly qualified teachers who not only know the content of these courses, but also know the curricula.
event_available ACT
event_available SAT
event_available Mathematics
We probably work with more students in math than in any other area. Go figure! From multiplication tables to Calculus and everywhere in between, we have teachers with the experience and knowledge you’re looking for.
