About Us
Teaching A Mindset For
Success. 
At AR Academics, we teach a mindset for success that helps students to distinguish themselves in all of their academic pursuits.
We coach our students to excel on standardized tests and provide academic support through rigorous high school curricula so that our students earn admission to their top choice schools. At AR Academics, we believe higher scores on the SAT and ACT and improved academic performance change students’ lives.
Today, the SAT and ACT provide unique opportunities for students to showcase their knowledge and critical thinking skills. As high schools vary widely in their grading policies and course rigor, colleges continue to rely on standardized tests and performance on AP exams to differentiate strong applicants and award merit scholarships. We are here to provide students with the tools they need to maximize their results.
