Palisades Charter High School Offerings


Standardized Test Diagnostics
Great Expectations College prep is proud to partner with Pali High PTSA to offer diagnostic SAT and ACT exams exclusively for Pali students. 

Students are strongly encouraged to take both exams, even if they have a pre-conceived preference; all students receive a free, 30-minute, one-on-one review session with a Great Expectation College Prep tutor. This personalized meeting goes beyond a simple score comparison, helping students understand which test plays to their strengths and minimizes their weaknesses. The tutor will also recommend a tailored preparation plan and testing timeline for help each student accomplish their goals.
Digital vs. Paper Exams: The SAT is now fully digital (with rare exceptions for specific accommodations). The ACT, however, offers both online and paper versions. To purchase your diagnostic exams and select your dates, click the button below.
Cost:
Diagnostic Exams: $40 each
25-minute one-on-one review sessions: FREE (one per student, per year)

All proceeds from the diagnostic exams go to the Pali High PTSA. Detailed instructions will be sent 48 hours prior to your exam.

Cancellation & Refund Policy: As this is a fundraiser, all fees are non-refundable. Thank you for supporting Pali PTSA!
Our Services

Option 1: SAT/ACT Boot Camps
Program Overview
With over 15 years as a leader in standardized test preparation, Great Expectations College Prep is proud to offer comprehensive SAT and ACT prep courses to Pali students — all led by expert instructors. Each exam is broken down into section-specific boot camps for targeted support, and students are welcome to enroll in as many boot camps as needed.

New session dates will be released soon - please reach out to our office if you are interested in joining the waitlist!

Option 2: Group Tutoring
Program Overview
Our group tutoring programs — for either the SAT, ACT, or an AP course — provide a great way to balance cost, individualized instruction, and the benefits of a classroom dynamic. Students will be introduced to the fundamental exam content and explore various test strategies, tricks, and pitfalls.

Our group sessions max out at 5 students, which allows the tutor to give each student individual attention — a feat that is nearly impossible in classrooms with 20-30 students present. Even with personalized attention, our group sessions are less expensive than the competition's large classes.

How it Works
Students arrange their own groups and are able to schedule sessions at times that are convenient for everyone, which means students work alongside friends and/or classmates and can select dates/times that work with their hectic schedules. These group programs are available either in person at clients’ homes or virtually, accommodating the unique preferences and needs of each group.

Program Perks
20 Group Tutoring hours (ten 2-hour sessions) with a tutor to cover the fundamentals of the exam
• 2 practice exams for each student
• 2 individual/one-on-one hours (one 2-hour session) for each student to meet with their tutor at the end of the program to discuss strengths, weaknesses, and a game plan moving forward
• All necessary materials (including study guides, practice questions, and practice exams)

Pricing
Our group tutoring program is being offered to students of Pali High at the exclusive discounted rate of $9,000 (originally $10,000). To determine your personal expense, simply divide the total cost of your program by the number of students in your group.

If you are interested in making a purchase, please contact our office directly with the information of all of the students in your group, and we will send customized invoices.
