• SAT Prep: The Princeton Review

  KHELS SAT Day is scheduled for April 20, 2026. Let’s get ready!
  
  To ensure your student is fully prepared, we’re offering an on-campus SAT prep program in partnership with The Princeton Review, designed specifically for high school juniors (11th Grade).
  
  Ace the SAT: On-Campus Prep with The Princeton Review

  
  This intensive, in-person course provides expert instruction, proven test-taking strategies, and structured practice exams. With focused preparation—especially around Spring Break—students will build the skills and confidence needed to reach their target scores.
  
  Classes begin Monday, March 30, so it’s important to act quickly! (Thank you to the families who have already reached out and enrolled from our JumpRope outreach!)
  
   Action Required:
  Please confirm your student’s participation as soon as possible so we can create their account and secure their spot in the program.
  
  You can confirm by emailing:
  Dr. A at aalexander@kurthahnschool.org and/or Principal Jean-Marie at jjeanmarie@kurthahnschool.org
  
  We strongly encourage all 11th grade students to take advantage of this opportunity as they prepare for this important milestone.
