About this Event

The beginning of the school year can be challenging after summer break. Swift Start is for students to strengthen and expand core skills in reading and math for a great start to the school year.


We focus on reading/comprehension because it is the foundation to other subjects including Social Studies, the Sciences, Language Arts and necessary for mathematical word problems. We include the basic skills involved in math as the base to build more advanced skills.


Swift Start addresses skill level, not necessarily grade level. The small group setting allows for students to collaborate and includes individual attention for best results. Our methods include skill drills and 3D examples for full understanding.


Elementary and Middle school students would be most comfortable. If you have a student performing on 9th grade level or above, please let us know because more dates and times are being added.

Tuesday 9/16/25 **from 4pm - 5:30 pm
