Get Back to School with Afficient Academy! Achieve Excellence in Math & English
It's almost time to go back to school. Most U.S. schools will reopen in a few weeks for the new academic year. Students must be excited as they anticipate learning new material, meeting new teachers, and making new friends. But a new school year can also bring a host of fresh anxieties. There are many new experiences to navigate, such as adjusting to a new schedule, possibly attending a new school, preparing for a new test, and purchasing learning materials to be fully equipped before school reopens.
Students who didn't utilize the summer effectively by entirely neglecting academics may find it challenging to enter the next grade level. It can be common for students to lose some knowledge and skills in math and English during the summer, a phenomenon known as "summer slide," if they aren't engaged in academic activities over vacation. Research indicates that students can lose up to 2-3 months of math and reading skills during the summer.
The first step in determining whether your child is ready for the next grade level is to assess whether the student has mastered all the skills from the previous grade. Wide skill gaps are likely to hinder your child's progress. Afficient Academy's free diagnostic test in math and English will thoroughly examine and identify essential skill gaps. After completing the comprehensive tests, the student will receive an evaluation report detailing the areas that need attention. A free consultation with an academic advisor is beneficial, as the advisor will explain the evaluation report and provide a personalized study plan. The study plan will guide the student to fill in the skill gaps efficiently, build a solid foundation, and prepare for the new grade in the shortest time possible.
If you would like to make sure your child is set up for success this academic year, look no further than Afficient's FREE diagnostic test. (This is for new Afficient students or former Afficient students who have taken a break for more than three months.) We strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our account advisors after completing the test.
You can also get acquainted with the topics and skills covered during your child's academic year by grade level.

This will help you prepare your child for what they are about to learn and put them one step ahead! Best wishes on your journey with Afficient Academy and the 2025-2026 school year!
