Princeton Review at Cannon School - SAT Prep

Cannon School, in Concord, is offering the highly-regarded Princeton Review SAT Prep Course at their location for the third year. The course includes 18 hours of instruction, as well as two practice tests, pre and post instruction that are professional scored so students and parents can determine strengths and weaknesses; develop a study plan; and gauge progress.

The course will be offered twice during the school year. The Fall Course will run from October 19, 2013 through November 23, 2013; the Winter Course will run from February 1, 2014 through March 1, 2014. A detailed class schedule can be found at the link below. Both courses are available for public school students preparing for their SAT tests. The cost of $450 includes all coursematerials. Registration is available now and is open for both courses; however, space is limited so early registration is recommended.

More details and a registration form can be found at http://www.cannonschool.org/satprep
