Summer 2026 Programs
Archimedes School | Redmond, WA or Online
This summer, Archimedes School is offering a full lineup of structured, small-group programs designed to give students a real academic edge before the school year begins. Whether your student is preparing for math, writing college application essays, building SAT skills, exploring coding and robotics, or learning to use AI as a study tool, each program is intentionally small (2 to 7 students) so every participant gets the individualized attention that larger programs simply can't provide. All programs run in person at our Redmond location. Spots are limited, so we encourage families to register early.
Summer Math Programs
Our math programs are designed to build a strong foundation before the school year begins. Each course runs for two weeks (Monday through Friday, 2 hours per day) in groups of no more than 7 students. Each course requires a minimum of 3 students to run, so when you register, please select all the sessions that work for your schedule. We'll reach out shortly to confirm your class time.

College Essay Writing
This 4-week course walks rising seniors through the full college essay process, from first brainstorm to finished personal statement. Students start by reading and discussing real essays that got students into elite colleges like Johns Hopkins, then work through a guided self-reflection exercise covering identity, values, and personal history. From there, they choose their strongest story angle, write a draft, workshop it with peers, and revise until it sounds like them. Sessions meet twice per week (1.5 hours each), and groups are kept small (2 to 5 students) so every student gets direct, personalized feedback throughout the process. By the end of the program, each student leaves with a polished 650-word essay ready for the Common App.

SAT Test Prep: Summer Group Program
This summer, Archimedes School is bringing its SAT prep expertise into a small-group format designed to prepare students for the August 22 SAT. This 6-week intensive is limited to just 6 students and includes two 2-hour sessions per week: one focused on SAT Math and one on Reading & Writing, each taught by a dedicated subject specialist. Every student begins with a full diagnostic assessment, follows a customized study plan, and takes full-length Digital SAT practice exams throughout the program to track progress and adjust focus areas in real time. The program wraps up one week before test day, giving students time to rest and do a final review. This isn't a lecture hall or a self-paced app; it's structured, expert-led preparation in a setting small enough that no student falls through the cracks.
July 6 – August 14, 2026 | $1,699
One-on-one SAT programs are also available. Please inquire for details.

AI Launchpad for Juniors & Seniors - NEW
This summer, Archimedes School is launching a first-of-its-kind program designed to teach high school juniors and seniors how to leverage AI as a real academic tool. While schools continue to either ban or ignore AI, the reality is clear: AI will be a defining part of how students learn, work, and solve problems in college and beyond. In this one-week intensive (Monday through Friday, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM), students will get hands-on experience with tools like Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other emerging AI platforms to build personalized study systems and workflows they can carry into college. This isn't an overview or a lecture series. Students will build, experiment, and walk away with a working AI study system (or a custom project of their own design). Class size is limited to six students to ensure each participant gets meaningful, individualized guidance. A subscription to select AI tools will be required for this course. Details will be shared before class begins.
