Boise schools to offer class to prepare students for college entrance exams

January 22, 2008 - Boise schools to offer class to prepare students for college entrance exams.

Boise School District will pilot a class during summer school preparing students to take college entrance exams.

The class also will be taught at Timberline High School next fall.  Both classes will be for credit.

Students will study ways to prepare for both the ACT and the SAT.

The class will be open to secondary students.

David Archibald-Seiffer, a Timberline language arts instructor, will teach the class.

All Idaho high school students will be required to take a college entrance exam in their junior year beginning with next year's freshman class as part of the State Board of Education's plan to make high school more rigorous.
