SAT Preparation
Specially designed for 4 Star camps by Cambridge Educational Services, Inc. for rising 10-12th grade students.

This SAT Preparations program follows Cambridge's proven 6-Step Approach that includes classroom instruction in a participatory and personal environment. Not only will you take 2 exams using actual retired tests but will walk away with a personalized study plan to continue your preparation after you leave camp.

Students choosing this program will focus on SAT course work for the entire morning. They may take an afternoon writing class tailored specifically for the essay portion of the exams.

American Studies for International Students
4 Star proudly offers international students ages 13 - 17 the opportunity to increase their level of comfortably communicating in English, learn American history, government and culture, and experience the nuances of a college campus. This 3 or 4 week program will also include TOEFL prep.  The University of Virginia provides an excellent environment for these students as it is the creation of one of America's founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson.

Campers will increase their speaking and reading
skills in this immersion-style experience. Our
philosophy is to provide a combination of structured classroom learning along with the chance to venture out to nearby historical landmarks including Monticello, home of Jefferson, Washington D.C., and UVA’s Library of Special Documents to name a few.

Senior Program – for rising 10th - 12th graders
Our mission in the Senior Program is to help provide students with the type of experience and mentoring which will foster the personal growth needed to face the special challenges of transitioning to young adulthood, college and beyond. Students attending the Senior Program will enjoy a fun-filled summer of personal growth, intellectual rewards and self-confidence in a safe and secure environment.
