Message from the Director

Dear Readers, ATFS has had an action packed season so far. We have trained over 100 students so far during this academic year. We have had two successful contests - Science and Vocabulary and we rolled out our Software Division. Our environments - After school learning, Saturday enrichment, private tutoring , "take outs" and Now Software Division have been filled completely and have kept us heads down with work. Our dedicated staff takes pride in training and tutoring each and every child. We are thrilled to see the results - students do well in schools, MCAS, SATs and ATFS Contests. All this keeps us driving and steering the center into the next academically exciting times - Spring and Summer.

We have a whole lot of programs including web programming, SQL Server training, SAT Test prep and MCAS preparation that we are now enrolling for. Needless to say, those trained and groomed for tests perform better. We are now accepting applications for the Summer programs which include enrichment camps for elementary and middle school children; and head start Algebra, Geometry, Physics and Chemistry for high schoolers. We are also accepting applications for our next years after school learning environment.

Lastly, Enrollments are now open for our Math Contest to be held on April 28th, 2007. Please read the following details and please feel free to get in touch with me for any questions or suggestions.

Cheers!
