Coping with COVID
We’re all dreaming of the day when we don’t have to talk about COVID-19, but we’re not there yet. In many parts of the world, the pandemic is still raging – and we’ve all experienced just how quickly situations can change. As much as we crave 100% certainty, we can’t honestly promise that we’ll be able to get on a plane as scheduled. That said, our whole team is vaccinated, and we’re feeling good about our ability to travel. Goodness knows we want to!!
We strongly believe that it’s everyone’s responsibility to proactively manage the COVID-19 variants, so we’re prepared to move any course online if necessary. If that happens, we’ll contact you to discuss the change and offer alternatives (including a refund).
If you have any questions about our courses or the SAT in general, please don’t hesitate to contact our International Coordinator at colton@highergroundlearning.com.
American International School of Cape Town (SAT)
We’re back, baby! Everything may not be normal yet, but it’s getting there (please?), and we’re oh-so-ready to get back to what we love most: traveling around the world to deliver the highest quality SAT prep on the market. And though many things look different than before, the exam itself hasn’t changed one bit. It’s still a powerful tool on university applications, it’s still frustratingly specialized, and it’s still shockingly predictable…which is where we come in. We know the SAT front to back, inside and out, backwards and forwards – and we’re ready to share. After attending our course, you’ll know this exam like a sibling. Well, maybe a least-favorite cousin. It is a nasty 3+ hour exam, after all.

Enrollment deadline: Friday, March 4

Unless stated otherwise, course enrollments will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. When a course reaches maximum class size, subsequent enrollments will be added to a waitlist. In the event of a large course requiring 2 instructors, students will be grouped according to initial diagnostic scores. This course requires a minimum of 8 students enrolled in order to run. If the course fails to meet minimum enrollment by the registration deadline, the course will necessarily be rescheduled or cancelled as appropriate. In the event of a cancellation or postponement, the course fee will be transferred to the next course at this school, or refunded in full upon request.
