Some KY students and parents are wondering how the new SAT scores compare to ACT scores. ACT and College Board (makers of the SAT) have worked together to create a “score concordance” that helps you compare. You can see that here: https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/scores/act-sat-concordance.html

Our universities are accepting either ACT or SAT scores, and here is how they are treating the scores from a scholarship perspective:

1. UK- lowest level scholarship: GPA of at least 3.5 or 26 ACT or 1230 SAT; Highest level: GPA of 4.0 or 33 ACT or 1450 SAT (competitive, not guaranteed)

2. WKU- smaller scholarships based solely on GPA; higher scholarships require at least 30 ACT or 1360 SAT

3. UofL- same as UK for lowest level scholarship; two highest tier scholarships require at least 31-36 ACT or 1390-1600

4. EKU- smaller scholarship amounts based on GPA only; largest scholarship amount requires 28 ACT or 1310 SAT

5. Morehead State- small scholarships starting at 20 ACT or 1030 SAT and a 3.0 GPA; Largest scholarship requires 3.8+ GPA and either 28 ACT or 1300 SAT (They also have competitive ‘full tuition’ scholarships that may have higher requirements).

6. NKU- smaller scholarships based solely on GPA (3.0+). Largest scholarship requires 3.75 gpa and 34 ACT or 1490 SAT

It can be confusing, so if you have a school in mind visit their website or reach out to their financial aid and admissions offices to ask about requirements and due dates!

New opportunity for KY families to support their child's education! Starting January 1st, 2027, families can apply for "Education Freedom Tax Credit" Scholarships. The funds are available for K-12 public, private, and homeschooled students and can be used to pay education related expenses: Tuition at private schools, private tutoring, special needs services like speech, curriculum materials, and more.

We expect a family of four in Warren County making less than $249,000 per year will be eligible, so most families will be able to apply. Final guidance hasn't been released yet, but everything we know so far is in this blog post on our website:

K-8 Summer Program to help kids return to school in the fall well-prepared to excel!

04/27/2023

Less than a month left in the school year! If your K-8 child has struggled in school this year, or you are worried about their academic progress, you are NOT alone! Many kids are ‘playing catch-up’ from school closures and virtual learning. We’ve seen it here when we get new students, and our local teachers and families are telling us their students are frustrated and struggling with both academic skills and self-confidence.

But you can help your child boost their skills over the summer! We can send them back to school next fall prepared for the next grade and more confident in their abilities!

Our summer “small group” tutoring begins the week of May 29-June 2. In just one hour a week, our experienced and certified teachers can address gaps in learning, help your child build confidence, and even accelerate their learning by pre-teaching skills your child will see when they return to school in the fall. All sessions have an experienced classroom teacher working with no more than four students, teaching them the skills critical to classroom success.

There are 10 weeks of summer vacation. Bring your child to us once a week this summer. You can feel confident knowing they will return to school well prepared for the next grade! You can do all 10 weeks of summer “small group” tutoring (a one-hour tutoring session each week, for 10 weeks) for the affordable price of $480. And we can adjust that price if you need to skip a few weeks for summer camps or vacations.

Call today to get a guaranteed spot or to request more information! If we are unable to answer, leave us a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!

Taking an ACT in September or October? ACT has added test dates and are working through their backlog of students who had tests cancelled in the spring/summer.

Our ACT prep classes begin August 15 for students taking any test in Sept. Classes begin on Sept 12 for students taking any October test.

These prep classes are small-group, held at our office on Campbell Lane, and reduced capacity to meet the KY "Healthy at Work" requirements. Space is limited to only 6 students in a class (down from our normal limit of 20 when we have the classes in schools).

We plan on returning classes to our local high schools once they have an opportunity to get settled into the unfamiliar routine of the new school year.
