Who is Score Academy?
Our credentials and a general overview of Score Academy
Score At The Top comprises five family-owned centers/schools in south Florida in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. There is a high density of well educated, upper middle-class families with school-age children in both counties, and all locations are within easy commuting distance for the owners.
With an individualized approach to education, Score Academy matches curriculum to each student’s specific learning style and personal goals. For tutoring clients, we use the sending school’s curriculum as a basis for academic support. For enrolled students, we recommend a curriculum that fulfills each student’s educational plan. Our test-prep students prepare for standardized tests using real tests and appropriate strategies developed by our founder, Judi Robinovitz, who worked for Educational Testing Service for 23 years.
We offer courses in all subject areas across all grade levels, from kindergarten through 12th grade and college, and at all educational levels, from remedial and regular to honors and Advanced Placement. Our AP courses and teachers have been individually certified by the College Board. In addition to Score Academy's own curriculum, we have successfully used other curricula from regionally accredited providers, including:
Student’s previous, current, or next school’s curriculum
