Sophomore year builds momentum. Chemistry, Algebra II, AP coursework, and SAT prep on the horizon — all in live classes of six where teachers push your child to the next level.
Sophomore year bridges the foundation of freshman year with the intensity ahead. Literary analysis gets more sophisticated. Math advances to Geometry or Algebra II. Chemistry replaces Biology. Standardized test prep and college planning start to appear on the horizon. This is the year where strong students accelerate and struggling students either catch up or fall further behind. In classes of six, Score Academy teachers see exactly where each student stands — and adjust before small gaps become big problems.
