BCA Labor Day Boot Camp — 15+ Hours of Bergen County Academies Prep for $250

Thursday, September 3 through Monday, September 7, 2026
$250 per student  ·  Limited spots available

If your child is applying to Bergen County Academies for the 2026–27 school year, the application deadline is closer than it feels. The BCA entrance exam is one of the most competitive in New Jersey, and the students who score highest arrive having done serious, structured preparation — not just a few practice tests the week before.

Our Labor Day Boot Camp is the most efficient way to cover the full BCA exam in a compressed, high-intensity format over a long weekend.

What the Boot Camp Covers

Over 15 hours of instruction and guided practice across five days, working through every major section of the BCA exam:

  • Mathematics — Algebra, geometry, data analysis, number theory, and multi-step problem solving at BCA difficulty
  • Essay Writing — Structured response to a prompt, timed practice, and detailed feedback
  • Full-length practice exam — Timed, scored, and reviewed in detail

Each session builds on the previous one. Students do not just receive instruction — they practice, receive feedback, and refine their approach in real time.

Schedule

Day Time Focus
Thursday, Sep 3 (evening) 6:00–9:00 PM Math Foundations + Algebra
Friday, Sep 4 10:00 AM–4:00 PM Geometry + Data + Number Theory
Saturday, Sep 5 10:00 AM–4:00 PM Word Problems + Counting + Combinatorics
Sunday, Sep 6 10:00 AM–4:00 PM Full Practice Exam + Essay
Monday, Sep 7 (morning) 9:00 AM–12:00 PM Review + Exam Strategy Session

Why This Format Works

Forced attention on every category. In a week of self-study, students naturally avoid what they find hard. In a structured group setting, every topic gets covered.

Immediate, specific feedback. When a student misses a problem, they find out why before moving to the next one — not at the end of a packet they checked at home.

Stamina building. The BCA exam requires sustained concentration. Doing multiple long sessions across several days is the closest preparation to the actual test experience.

The essay covered in real time. Most prep programs treat the essay as an afterthought. We dedicate a full session to it because a strong essay is a meaningful differentiator in competitive BCA applications.

Who This Is For

  • Grade 7 students preparing to apply to BCA for Grade 9 entry
  • Students who have been preparing on their own and want a structured push before the application window
  • Students who feel strong in some areas but have gaps in others
  • Families who want a cost-effective alternative to months of private tutoring

About Our Program

We have been preparing students for BCA and SHSAT admissions for years, serving families in Bergen County, Manhattan, and online. Our students are admitted to Bergen County Academies, Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and top STEM programs across the region.

Our material is built from the actual BCA exam’s content and difficulty profile — not generic test prep recycled from other exams.
