OUR SUMMER INTENSIVES
Three Programs. One Goal:
College Readiness.
Each intensive targets a specific gap that leaves students struggling in their first year.
Choose one — or combine them for complete preparation.

WHY VERITY ACADEMIC
Built for Students Who
Want Real Results
Small cohorts, real attention
8–12 students per cohort means every student gets personalized feedback — not generic responses.
Graduate-level expertise
Every program is led by a specialist with graduate-level academic expertise in their
subject area.
Structured, proactive preparation
These aren't remedial courses. They're proactive programs that put students ahead before college starts.
Proven, structured curriculum
Each intensive follows a week- by-week curriculum designed to build skills progressively — nothing random, nothing wasted.
Keep-forever deliverables
Every week ends with a takeaway students keep and use throughout college — not just in
class.
Fully virtual, fully flexible
All programs are online — live Zoom or Google Meet sessions from wherever students are this
summer.
