Free Seminars for Parents "Know the
SAT / Understanding College
Admissions"


Ivy Bound offers parents of high schoolers to learn more more about the
college admissions process, in particular about the SAT and OTHER standardized
tests now desired or required.  We coalesce in any locale where there are 20 or
more committed families throughout from Aug 6 through Sept 7. 


If you are part of a group that would like to have an Ivy Bound instructor
come to you for this seminar, please call 860-666-3999 or email success@ivybound.net.  The
seminar runs 60 minutes and up to 30 more minutes is reserved for Q & A. 
Ivy Bound works with:


    school groups
    religious groups
    athletic grounps
    music / performance groups
    just plain friends with teens.


These can be in-home coffees or events at a school or community center.  If
parents want to bring their teens, Ivy Bound can arrange a free practice SAT
session to coincide with the seminar.



For those who don't want to organize, but want to simply attend, consider
the phone seminar.  Ivy Bound holds a similar seminar Sunday Aug 5 at 9:15pm
eastern on a conference line.   It runs 9:15 - 10:05pm eastern.  No reservation
is needed.  The agenda is below.  More on free things Ivy Bound offers parents
