Step Three
Scholar ELA Diagnostic
All incoming scholars complete a brief ELA diagnostic assessment. This gives us a clear picture of your scholar’s current skill level so we can build a learning plan that is appropriately challenging from day one. This is not a pass-or-fail assessment. It simply helps us identify the right starting point and ensure each scholar is placed where they can grow, think deeply, and be pushed forward.

Step Four
Family Meeting
Families who pass initial review and ELA Diagnostic, are invited to a meeting with our Program Director. This is a conversation. We want to hear about your scholar, your goals, and what you're hoping to find at Young Laureates. It's also your chance to ask us anything.
