Join us on Tuesday, May 19th, at 1 PM, as we explore how middle school math decisions connect to high school opportunities and college readiness and how to determine the best fit for your child. We’ll break down common misconceptions about acceleration and emphasize that there is no single “right” path—only the one that supports your student’s growth, confidence, and long-term success.
