District 87 Offering Free ACT Prep Course for all Glenbard Juniors

District 87 is offering a FREE ACT Prep course for all Glenbard Juniors. The ACT Prep course is provided by Academic Approach, a leading test preparation provider. Scoring well on the ACT affords students with post-secondary opportunities, including scholarships and admission to competitive colleges and universities. 

Based on feedback from students and families regarding conflicts with extra-curriculars in years past, students will now have the option of in-person or virtual instruction. There are two options of courses for students: an 18-hour in-person or virtual session and a 12-hour virtual session. The 18-hour course is more comprehensive and recommended for students that would benefit from covering all areas of the test: English, reading, math, and science. The 12-hour course will consist of six hours of lecture with an additional six hours in their area of interest, either English/reading or math/science. 

At Glenbard West, the 18-hour in-person class will meet after school on Thursdays and virtual classes will be offered Monday through Thursday, and on Saturdays.  Prior to the class starting, students will take a diagnostic ACT which will be offered at Glenbard West on Tuesday, January 14th from 2:30-6pm or 6-9:30pm. Classes will begin the week of January 20th and end the week of April 1st.  Students are expected to attend the entire class schedule. Please do not sign up for a class that competes with a Winter or Spring sport or activity.

Students can register using the link provided here or using the QR code in the featured flyer. Registration will close on December 1st. Contact Rebecca Sulaver [email protected] with any questions.
