GRADE 6 → GRADE 7 · MONTREAL
Help your child walk into their entrance exams prepared and confident
Prepare for the CAT-4 and school-specific entrance exams with targeted instruction, realistic practice exams, and a program built around what Grade 6 students will actually face.
Entrance exams are stressful when you don’t know what to expect.
You shouldn’t have to guess whether your child is ready. They should walk into test day knowing what to expect — and knowing they’ve prepared for it.
Prepare with a plan — not guesswork.
By the time entrance-exam season begins in late September, your child will have…

Our Location
This program happens at our centre in Pointe Claire. Enrolment is limited to 12 students so that we can provide meaningful feedback and respond to the needs of the group.
Still have questions?
What happens if my child misses a class?
Students receive the lesson notes, homework, and class recap. Digital office hours will also be available for students who need help catching up after a missed class.
What types of questions will be on the entrance exam?
It varies by school. Students may see logic and verbal reasoning such as analogies and sequences, pattern recognition, English and French language skills, reading comprehension, and math.
If different schools have different exams, how does the program account for that?
Students in the program receive different diagnostic exams depending on the schools they’re applying to. In class, we teach the skills and question types that overlap across exams, then break into smaller groups for school-specific material.
What should my child bring to classes?
We provide all core program materials, including paper and pencils. Students only need to bring a snack and water.
How do you decide who joins the program?
We look for students who are capable and coachable, with families who are engaged in the process. If we offer your child a spot, it’s because we genuinely believe we can help them succeed.
What if my child has gaps?
That’s exactly what the diagnostic is designed to uncover. If we identify gaps, we’ll show you what to prioritize during the program and at home. If we believe your child’s gaps are too significant for this program to make a meaningful difference, we may recommend one-on-one prep, a different program, or another form of support that better fits their needs.
What kind of results can I expect?
Students should leave the program performing better and working faster on entrance-style questions, while feeling more confident, less nervous, and more prepared for test day.
The skills we build also strengthen the reasoning and study habits they’ll use in Grade 7. Ultimately, stronger preparation and performance puts your child in a better position for acceptance to their preferred school or program.
Submitting the form allows us to confirm that the program matches your child’s application plans before registration is finalized.
