Breakaway Test Prep partners with Providence Academy and St. Thomas Academy to provide in-school test prep

Edina, Minnesota – June 1, 2017 – Breakaway Test Prep, Minnesota’s leading provider of ACT and SAT test preparation services, is pleased to announce partnerships with two leading prep schools in the Twin Cities: Providence Academy and St. Thomas Academy.  The schools are the latest organizations to partner with Breakaway for comprehensive test prep services.  Breakaway Test Prep has been a partner of The Blake School and the Breck School since 2012.

Breakaway’s services for these schools range from four-week intensive summer test prep programs to semester-long in-school ACT prep classes available to the entire junior class.  Breakaway’s leadership team has also been called upon to lead half-day or full-day ACT or PSAT bootcamps to prepare students for those tests, and to talk to parents at “College Night” events about preparing for standardized tests and explaining the differences between the ACT and the SAT.

If your school is interested in partnering with Breakaway Test Prep, please contact Ron Michalak, Breakaway’s president, at [email protected] or at 612-216-5133.
