High Marks Prep
Teaching students how to become disciplined thinkers, improve standardized test scores, and stand out on college applications.
At High Marks Prep, we teach high school students how to think critically, write for impact, and excel on standardized tests.
The truth is: traditional test prep doesn't work.
Despite the billions of dollars spent in education, special programs, private tutoring, and test prep, standardized test scores have not improved. And some subject areas — reading and writing — have worsened.
We offer the best college and test prep to raise reading and writing test scores and prepare students for college. Our program goes beyond traditional test prep: High Marks Prep students engage in seminars, write essays on profound topics, and learn how to study to be successful anywhere.
High Marks Prep classes show students how to be successful in universities and beyond.

Seminars on the most profound texts in human history. Writing instruction that teaches students how to bring forth their voice and develop on meaningful arguments.
The end result? Improved test scores, better college admissions essays, and higher quality work in university classes
