​"The ISEE is the private school admissions test. It's offered in three levels depending on the grade the student is applying to. If you're unfamiliar with the ISEE, please click here to learn about strategies, content, and scoring."
​Stephen Hayes, General Academic Vice President
​

General Academic's courses will help students eliminate the stress and uncertainty brought on by the ISEE and private school admissions.  Our instructors, using our own materials through Piqosity.com, will guide students through the ISEE and its tested concepts while teaching and practicing testing strategies throughout the course. We will also shed light on the admissions process, look at what each school has to offer, and discuss what each student brings to the table on their applications and interviews.

No one knows the ISEE like General Academic. Ask anyone else to show you the 21 practice tests that they've written themselves.

ISEE test prep is about more than just trying to "beat" a standardized test. Equally if not more important is taking the opportunity to ensure that your child is prepared for high school. Therefore, preparing is really about reviewing core concepts in math and English, concepts which students may have forgotten over the last few years but will need in order to succeed in high school.

We offer courses to prep students for the Upper (applying to grades 9-12) and Lower (applying to grades 5 & 6) Level ISEEs. We offer private tutoring for the Middle Level ISEE (applying to grades 7 & 8).

​ISEE Boot Camp (New!)

Is your child an overachiever who will do whatever it takes to ace the ISEE? Or maybe you know you can only compel them to do two-weeks of prep? If so, consider our 60-hour summer boot camps.  Learn more here!

More About our ISEE Classes

We have helped hundreds of students prepare for the ISEE since our first group ISEE class in 2011. We start with our own material on Piqosity.com, add one of our brilliant instructors, and teach through a hands-on, interactive approach.

Class Format

Students receive access to General Academic's own full-length ISEE practice tests and 2,000 practice problems through the online, adaptive learning platform Piqosity.com. We have 7 tests for each level of the ISEE.

During each course, students will work through 1 complete practice test and additional practice sections (depending on performance) all while learning strategies and reviewing tested concepts.

A typical class is composed of two instructor-led parts:

1. Testing strategies, question format, and systematic approach
2. Review of tested concepts in mathematics and reading

Limited Enrollment

All classes are limited to 8 students or fewer to ensure that your student receives personalized attention.
