Common Core: 100% Alignment with State Standards
Our advantage lies in our continuous endeavor to provide students with the most up-to-date materials that comply with the Common Core State Standards. Other programs and other prep centers repeat and recycle their material, but we believe that knowledge is accompanied by progression, by expansion. This is where we are different, and why we succeed: we prepare each child to meet standards created “to ensure that all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge to succeed in college, career, and life.” These standards are research- and evidence-based, and are based on rigorous content. To read more about it, visit: www.corestandards.org.
Students at AKCL have achieved significant improvements in their test results
We have created a strong foundation for an effective system that can help students reach a higher level of learning in all subjects. We have been receiving good feedback, both encouraging and rewarding, from parents whose children have received higher scores on ELA and math than before. All of our students made remarkable academic progress.
90% of the children in the program are exceeding NYS standards. 100% of our children improve their report card grades by at least one level. Their reading levels improve as much as 10 letters in the A-Z reading skill rubric. Math is the most visibly improved subject under our program.
