Ars Scholae and SWARTWOOD Testing, Admissions, & Review have collaborated to create the Math and Science Academy! 

Ars Scholae has promoted successfully student learning in large classroom settings and in small private tutoring formats.  Ars Scholae brings years of experience and teaching content to this incredible collaboration.

SWARTWOOD Testing, Admissions, & Review has helped thousands of students attend medical, dental, optometry, pharmacy, and graduate schools of their choice (e.g., Otana MCAT 39 - Harvard Med, Sina MCAT 526 - Yale Med, Andy Chen MCAT 515 - Stritch School of Medicine, Chicago, Allison MCAT 40 - UCSF, Leah DAT 25 -UCSF Dental, Sheela DAT 21 - UCSF Dental, etc.).  John, our head instructor, has been instrumental in putting us on the map.  His classes regularly fill to 84 (our main office capacity).
