Our Chattanooga Students Say It Best

Was completely worth every bit of the Time and Money. I was able to raise my Composite ACT score from a 19 to a 26, and get accepted to my dream school after 5 weeks of attending class 101. The classes are super flexible to fit any schedule, and I would highly recommend to anyone prepping for the ACT or SAT.

Wayne

Middle Tenn State University

Karen, with Class 101 Chattanooga, was beyond fabulous! She helped my daughter maintain academic success, achieve her test score aspirations, and navigate the college application process from start to finish. My daughter was accepted to every college of her dreams and is flourishing in her sophomore year. I don’t know how we would have managed such an exciting, yet daunting, college application year without Karen and Class 101!

Leigh Ann B.

I’ve had a great experience with Class 101! I can not imagine preparing and applying for colleges without her! I’m very grateful for Karen, as she is patient and cares about all her students!

Our College Prep Packages

12TH Grade

Senior year means it’s time to apply to college! Our senior package helps you complete the application process.

11TH Grade

In 2021, junior year means crunch-time. Because students apply to their top-choice schools by the first semester of their senior year, junior year is for dialing in on academics and maximizing test scores.

10TH Grade

Early engagement is a game-changer when it comes to maximizing college and scholarship opportunities. Sophomore year is the perfect time to zero in on the characteristics that make your student truly stand out and gain a competitive edge.

9TH Grade

Having a game plan is one of the most important parts of our process. Starting freshman year, we’ll guide your student through our strategic process for setting the foundation for success.
