Academic prep is the center of this summer lineup, with distinct options for standardized-test work, writing, and advanced mathematics. The SAT/ACT program combines instructor-led classes with full-length practice exams and review sessions, giving high school students repeated opportunities to work through test concepts and strategies. Writing Contest Workshops guide students through four essays for four different contests, from early planning through final editing. Grades 11–12 can also choose an AP Calculus Preview taught by the academy’s head math instructor. For families comparing options, each offering has its own recurring meeting pattern rather than a single all-day timetable.
The published format is deliberately focused rather than recreation-heavy. SAT/ACT classes meet on Mondays and Wednesdays, while testing takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Writing workshops meet on Fridays, and AP Calculus Preview meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the evening. The academy also publishes small class caps for two summer offerings: eight students in the SAT/ACT program and four in the writing workshops.
This program best fits students who want structured academic practice during summer, especially those preparing for major entrance exams, developing competition essays, or getting an early start on calculus. The summer materials emphasize guided instruction, repeated practice, review, and individual attention within small published class limits.

The summer program is organized around separate academic offerings rather than one all-day mixed schedule. In the SAT/ACT track, students attend class sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays and complete full-length tests on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The program includes ten full-length practice exams along with review sessions, creating a repeated cycle of instruction, testing, and feedback across the published summer period.
The Writing Contest Workshops use a project-based format. Students prepare four essays for four different writing contests, with support that runs from planning to final editing before submission. The workshops meet on Fridays and publish a maximum class size of four. AP Calculus Preview is a separate option for Grades 11–12, meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The academy states that these preview classes are taught by its head math instructor.
Across the published offerings, the structure emphasizes focused academic work in small instructional groups. The SAT/ACT program publishes a maximum class size of eight, while the writing workshops cap enrollment at four. Students choose the program that matches their academic goal rather than rotating through a broad set of unrelated camp activities.

Grit Prep Academy describes its teaching team as passionate, innovative instructors and says its academic support is built around small classes, top instructors, and strong materials. For the summer AP Calculus Preview, the program specifically identifies the academy’s head math instructor as the teacher. The SAT/ACT and writing offerings also publish small maximum class sizes, supporting a focused instructional format. The academy’s About page also presents several team members with 99th-percentile SAT or ACT credentials and university affiliations.
Parents can use the academy’s public contact form for program questions.
