Students learn practical strategies for:
<ul><li>Managing schedules and deadlines</li><li>Studying efficiently and preparing for exams</li><li>Taking effective notes and reading actively</li><li>Self-advocacy and communicating with professors</li><li>Building routines that support long-term success</li></ul>
A bonus parent session with Beth Samuelson is included and focuses on supporting your student's transition while fostering independence.Sunday, July 26 through Tuesday, July 28, 2026, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm each evening.

As many families prepare to send students off to college this fall, SOS4Students...

Middle school is an exciting milestone, but it’s also one of the biggest transitions students experience. Suddenly, they’re expected to manage multiple teachers, keep track of assignments across classes, stay organized, plan ahead, and take on more independence.
The challenge is that many students don’t realize they’re missing these skills until they’re already feeling overwhelmed. At SOS4Students, we’ve worked with countless middle school students who came to us after struggling with these new expectations. We saw the same patterns again and again, which is why we created Mastering Middle School.
This summer workshop helps rising middle schoolers build the executive functioning skills they’ll need before the school year begins. During the intensive session on August 1–2 at Orinda Academy, students will learn practical strategies for:
• Organization and managing materials • Time management and task management • Homework routines and study strategies • Effective note-taking • Self-advocacy and communicating with teachers • Navigating the increased independence of middle school
Students will also have the opportunity to return for a follow-up session on September 12 to reinforce skills and prepare for a successful transition into the school year.
Give your student the tools to start middle school feeling prepared, confident, and ready to succeed.
