SAT Sunrise Sessions
What is this course about?
Welcome to the SAT. Your parents, maybe even your grandparents, took this test. Over time, it's evolved. In the past, it was a black box and a requirement. Now, it's digital, shorter, and still optional at a lot of colleges. Over two days, you'll take a practice test, learn about the test, and understand what you need to do to achieve your dream score. Don't get it twisted: the SAT is a boss level, one of many. The tools you'll learn from this process, you'll be able to take the rest of your life. Reframe the game as a game and a rite of passage rather than a source of anxiety, and you've won half the battle. We'll show you how.
Curriculum
Day 1
8 am. Sunrise-ish. Croissants, snacks, and coffee. A boardroom with up to six elite students. You'll learn how the test works, and then you'll take a real one.
Day 2
8 am again. The test is early, so you'll be up early. This time, you'll learn to look at a score report, understand what's valuable and what's just there to be fancy and impressive. By the end of the day, you'll have a custom study plan that's built around who you are and how you work.

Who it's for
Students taking their final ACT or SAT in June, aiming for a 30+ ACT or 1350+ SAT. That's not a hard cutoff — we're open to aligned students scoring lower, case by case.
We've worked with hundreds of high-performing students and know the mental traps they fall into in the final stretch. This is about helping them channel that final-week energy productively.
