Mandatory Test Preparation

COMBINE ACADEMY students are each evaluated and enrolled in SAT/ACT/TOEFL Test Preparation Courses in order to help them elevate their test scores. SAT/ACT/TOEFL testing is a major factor in the recruitment process of student-athletes. Combine Academy Staff work diligently with our student-athletes GPA’s and test scores in order for them to appeal more to colleges. A three hour study session time slot will be set aside daily for student-athletes to focus on their academics and test preparation.

Combine’s mandatory SAT/ACT/TOEFL Test Preparation Courses are taught by experienced tutors. Combine’s uniquely designed test prep has been proven to raise the SAT/ACT/TOEFL test scores of our students, which provides a significant advantage in the college recruiting process.

Small Class Size

We believe learning is interactive. Taking into account hectic academic/athletic/extracurricular schedules, we are able to maintain flexibility, while still working closely with students to prepare them for the college classroom in every facet. Students are expected to be actively engaged in the learning process, often working alongside teachers to customize lessons to suit a particular area of interest or concern. Our classrooms are designed to foster discussion and small group work that allows space for each student to discover their own voice and stay engaged with the learning experience.

Comprehension & Math

Combine Academy athletes participate in mandatory reading, writing, and mathematics courses which help to immensely advance their vocabulary, alertness, processing, and test taking ability. Combine Academy tutors use their vast background and academic experience to help advance and prepare every student-athlete for the College Level of Academics.

Combine Academy classes are based in small, intimate, group environments where students can benefit from the individual attention and teaching they need to enhance their knowledge of the subject at hand. Combine Academy’s Academic setting consists of several common areas, student lounges, and rest areas where students can be provided a getaway and release from the ongoing educational demand of the classroom.
