How does the free assessment work?
Every family starts with a complimentary personalized assessment. There is no charge and no obligation. You receive a six-skill report and a recommended plan before deciding on membership.
How many sessions are included?
Membership includes one scheduled one-on-one coaching session each week with your student's assigned coach. Beyond that it is not session-based: members may register for any eligible weekly group session — Practice Labs, Mentoring Circles, Debate Simulations, selected Skill Intensives, and College & Career Workshops — subject to seat capacity and fair use.
Do I need the Competition Track?
Only if your student is preparing for competitive tournaments. It is an optional monthly add-on and requires an active Academy Membership.
How does cancellation work?
Cancel anytime from Membership & billing in the Family Portal. Access continues through the end of the month you already paid for. Cancelling membership also ends the Competition Track add-on.
Are private coaching sessions the same as group sessions?
No. Membership already includes one weekly one-on-one session with your student's coach. The coaching packages here are extra one-to-one time you purchase separately; those sessions are tracked independently and never convert into group access.
