For a week, at Cortona Academy students will work with an expert college English professor to hash out a game plan for an out-of-this-world college application essay. Our instructor will show students how to execute an essay that will be so intriguing that college admissions deans will more than notice their work. 

This essay alone can move your child’s application to the top! This is an art mastered by Cortona Academy for the past twenty-five years, as all our students who have applied to four-year institutions have been accepted, with scholarships! 

A college essay can be a daunting challenge to many students. The questions can be confusing, overly specific, overly broad, or just plain difficult. While grades, SAT scores, and curriculum strength may be the most considerable factors that decide admittance to a college, a great essay can tip the balance in the student’s favor. Knowing how to tackle the specifics of what kind of essay questions a student may have to answer puts both students and parents at peace of mind.
