Supplemental Zoom High School Readiness Classes
Register early! Classes are limited in size and fill up quickly.
We are offering the following courses to help your student prepare for the challenges of high school. We’ve created these BootCamp courses just for our 8th grade independent study students as a tune-up before launching their high school experiences.
Select from Study Skills/9th Grade Readiness, Reading/Analyzing Literature, and Writing. Or, choose all three!
Each six week course is offered once per week at two convenient times for $225. Choose the course(s), session(s), and time(s) when you enroll in each course on our website here. Our instructor, Laura Fries, provides our Academic Support services throughout the school year and understands your students’ unique transition to high school.

Position
Hello Talega Prep and A1A 8th Graders!
My name is Laura Fries. I currently engage as an Educational Facilitator for Talega Prep. I earned a BA in English at The University of Florida, and I was a full-time middle school teacher for 29 years. I have tutored outside the classroom during my entire career. I’ve also led many seminars and small group sessions on motivation, organization, and study skills. I feel strongly that Writing, Study Skills, and Reading/Understanding Literature are three of the most important skills that lead to confidence and success in high school and beyond.
I look forward to helping your child enter high school with confidence and readiness!
